Like I said before - I love the fall and everything about it. Ever since we had gotten our pumpkins this weekend I was excited to carve them. Raif got home from a business trip early today and my parents are here for Quinn's birthday so I thought that this afternoon was the perfect time. I imagined the whole family sitting around and carving and having a ball. Yeah, not so much. The kids hated picking out the seeds and were completely bored while Raif and I carved our pumpkins. I had even been crafty and went to Michael's and got some stick on felt for the kids since they can't use the knives. The kids were completely uninterested in the whole process. I had to push them to put the felt stickers on their pumpkins and they were more interested in pulling the stickers off the others pumpkins than decorating their own. When I tried to take their pictures with their pumpkins they cried. This is the only decent shot of them I got all day. And somewhere in the process one of them even hit me in the head with a broom. Oh well - maybe next year.
