Scoop out the insides...

of a pumpkin...carve a mouth, a nose and two big eyes!  We had the fun opportunity to have our good friends the McDonald's over for FHE on Monday where we had homemade pizza for dinner with some SPOOKY witches brew that the kids thought was a little bit too spooky, and carved some wicked pumpkins!  Everyone had a spakin good time.  Of course, the adults (well, Cole and I- the McDonald kids did really well carving their own pumpkins) ended up doing most of the carving, but it was so fun!  Our boys thought the pumpkin guts were pretty gross, and would have NOTHING to do with them- so oh well!  The pizza and salad was delish, along with the yummy cake that Jamie brought for dessert!  EVERYONE thought that was pretty sweet!  Thanks again for coming McDonalds!  It's been TOO long, and now my kids ask about 20 times a day if it is the day that we can go back up to Matt and Brinley's house.  Sheesh!  I guess I'd better set that up or somethin'.!  Halloween is just around the corner, and this definitely put us in the spooky spirit!  Halloween is NOT my favorite holiday, so this is a good start for me!

Enjoying some apples and caramel

Cool shot of the spooky witches brew with the sheriff in the background.  LOOK OUT!

EEEWWWWWW.......

GROSS!!!!

Silly Lincoln wouldn't even touch the inside for nothin!  We had to bribe him pretty good to even get THIS lovely picture.

The finished products!  Good job kids!

Sookified

Then of course, we finished off the night by bringin out the GOOD stuff...chocolate cake!  We had apples and 

homemade caramel, but the kids would have nothing to do with that!
