Pumpkin Carving Party!

Sat afternoon we transformed our dinning room into a pumpkin carving space with a plastic tarp taped to the floor where the babies/kids could get as messy as they wanted to dig out pumpkin guts. The parents dug out the pumpkin seeds {hoking hazard}, and after the pumpkins were free of seeds, we let the babies explore the pumpkins by smelling, touching, eating and rolling them around back and fourth. I think they had a good time.

We had great friends over for pizza, snacks, apple cider,
and things dipped in chocolate galore.
I set up a little candy station using my mothers candy dishes
{that were passed down to her by her grandmother.}

A great time was had by all.
I think we need to make this a yearly tradition.
