We woke up to yucky, snowy, windy weather today so I thought to brighten our day we'd carve pumpkins, so I bundled the kids up and headed for gma Asay's where the pumpkins were and headed back home for some pumking carving fun. This picture shows the extent of Stetson's participation in the pumpkin carving party. He wasn't so interested. He did roll up his sleeves and put his hand in but never actually touched the gunk. After I was done carving it I put a candle in it and turned the lights out and he started singing happy birthday to it. Just a heads up for first time moms: don't even try to carve pumpkins with your kids 'til they're ...4 or 5? I'm not sure but every Halloween with Stetson so far has been me carving the pumpkins.
Yesterday might have been the happiest day of Stetson's life because after story time I told him he could have a "spider muffin" that his cousins Zach & Ben made if he ate his potatoe soup.
We've been under the weather here but are hoping for a full recovery by tomorrow for the ward trunk or treat!

Looks like too much fun. Remember last year when you and I carved pumpkins,I have been lazy this year (or you know too busy) to even carve our pumpkin. We miss you guys
