Nuts and bolts + Carving pumpkins = Greg's favorite day of the year!!
Two days before Halloween, Greg spent a good bit of the day cleaning the guts out of 3 pumpkins (his and the kids. I am the worst carver ever and don't participate anymore). He also made one of our family's favorite snacks - "nuts & bolts." (Translation: a fancy chex mix.) That night, the kids got their turn.....
Abby drew the face on her pumpkin & Greg carved it, while Nate did it ALL himself. I was very proud of him. Look how focused he is :)
They couldn't wait to "light them up" outside!!
For those that know Greg, he is VERY serious when it comes to pumpkin carving. He alternates each year, doing a design for each kid. This year was Abby's year! He keeps the design secret, even during the 3 days that he is working on it.
Just a few of his masterpieces from the past.....
He revealed his design to Abby right before dinner. For once, she was speechless!!!
It was a nod to our family Disney trip.....Tinkerbell sprinkling her magic on the castle. Look at that detail!!!!!
He drilled each of those tiny little holes. It wrapped all the way around the back. How in the world does he have that much patience!?
Proud of their creations!
Ready for trick-or-treaters!!
