Pumpkin Carving + Birthday shout out

I am big into Pumpkin caring, to Brett's dismay. I have always carved a pumpkin, Brett does sometimes. Last year with Gwenie it went GREAT! She tried to eat the pumpkin and tried to clean some of it out. This year is a whole another story.....

Gwenie thought it was YUCKY! She "faked" throwing up! It was making Brett and I laugh so hard. She thought it smelled and felt nasty, she wanted nothing to do with it, just like her Dad and Auntie Kami. She might look like me (even though that is a matter of opinion) but she is ALL Brett.

this is yuck


She sat with Brett for just a second thinking that it would be better if she just watched him, but as you can see that didn't last long either. She kept leaving us to it and then coming up next to us and "faking" throwing up (the sounds she made were great) and then leaving to play with toys.

no, Daddy, yucky


Brett hates cleaning them out so that is all up to me.

Here is all the inerds. I swear Gwenies had the most seeds and hers was so tiny. There is nothing like homemade pumpkin seeds. Another Halloween tradition.

I put Gwenie in her Tie Dye shirt from this post, so all of you who wanted to see the finished project could.

How fun! I like pulling out the inerds, too. Gwenie has definitely changed a lot in the last year! It is pretty crazy! And I love the picture of Kimberly and Blake. Happy Birthday, sis!

I LOVE carving pumpkins too. I get the same job of cleaning the pumpkins out. Kelly hates it. It's not my favorite either but I get the job if I want to carve. You know we bought "a" pumpkin and I totally forgot to carve it...bummer. Now I have a pumpkin and don't know what to do with it.

Hey, great pumpkins...and love gwen's shirt. It turned out really cute.

Okay, the "faking throwing up" thing is hilarious! AND, thank you for the shout out! My b-day was great! Your mom offered to fold all of my laundry which was a total birthday wish come true! Thanks for the call and everything...you're the best!
