Pumpkin Carving 2023...

Every year we get together and carve! Micah cooks dinner, the kids brainstorm, and then they carve away. Roen is usually one of the first ones finished because in his world, everything is a race and Remi is usually one of the last, because in his world, anything worth doing is worth doing right.

I love this night and I dread the day when they are all gone and there are no pumpkins to carve. We only have two years left with our biggest girl and that is a hard pill to swallow. So, I will continue to take pictures, I will refuse to let this tradition go and I will love every single minute of this gooey, orange mess, of an evening!

The kids really like us to judge the pumpkins. Us moms like to go through and give each pumpkin its own little award, but that it never suitable and just proves to irritate them all- they want winners! So, we had the guys go in and judge since they didn't know who carved what!

Jace- 1st place

Remi- 2nd place

Berk- 3rd place

I also want to note that Micah fried all the fish Remi caught on his fishing trip the day before! Fried fish, hush puppies, fried squash.... it was so so good! Also note, that we came straight from trap shooting practice and Remi couldn't be bothered with even taking off his ammo holder, lol!

Eight big pumpkins 🎃 sitting in a row!! They all did a great job and shared a fun evening. So cool that y’all still make it happen. Way to wrangle those kids, mommas!!👏🏻👏🏻 As I scrolled through the pictures, I thought Remi came prepared…he’s even got a pouch for his carving tools! 😂😂. I’ll go ahead and plan to be in the area next year to see this in person. 😊 And cross my fingers that a fish fry will be happening again. That sounded delicious!! As always, thanks for sharing your pictures! Love y’all 😘
