The kids got the stomach flu this weekend so we have been house bound. Poor Grace was scary sick for a little while, but she was doing better this afternoon. We were all going crazy being locked in and you can only watch so many movies, so we decided to do what anyone would do with 3 kids with stomach flu....carve pumpkins.

Grace thought the insides were pretty fun, although next she tried to eat them.

This is Kyle "sticking his hand in." He thought the guts were gross and didn't even want to get his spoon too close.

Evan actually got brave and stuck his arm in a few times.
The Results:

Grace was very curious about the entire thing.

See the similarity in the smiles? Grace's bottom teeth came in with the two on the side first, so we gave her pumpkin the same grin (her bottom front teeth have come in now, just not as far).

Kyle opted for a bat this year.

Evan picked what he calls half man, half pumpkin. It will probably be clearer when we put the candle in and light it up.

Our three sickos. Thank goodness our kids are pleasant when they are sick.

Yeah, all three are looking at the camera and kind of smiling!

I love that Kyle wouldn't even touch the guts. And holy cow, Grace's hair is getting so long! It's very cute and girly
Looks like it was so much fun and man those kids are talented...what with drawing, let alone CARVING those designs out of pumpkin at such a young age! haha :) They're so cute!! Getting so big. We practiced Trick or Treating tonight with Graham and it was a success except that after each door (in the hallway) he had to stop and eat the candy I had just given him! He needs his cousins to show him the ropes! Miss you guys!
Sorry about the sickies. So sad, I hate it when the kids get sick. Massive cute pumpkins though!
