Rob is a much better pumpkin carver than I am, but I'm much better at getting my hands dirty. He's not a fan of sticking his hands inside the pumpkin to pull out the inside seeds and gunk, but it definitely doesn't bother me. I'm just not any good at the actual carving portion, which is why I made the decision this year to just embrace the badness that is my pumpkin carving skills.
While we worked hard, Addison just slept. (And I know it looks like she had a massive bruise on her face, she doesn't. It's a shadow.
Part of embracing my badness is now quickly I can actually carve my pumpkins, which leaves me with some dead time while I wait for Rob to finish with his pumpkin. Therefore, Addison and I decided to have a short photo shoot. Again she slept through it, but she's not even two weeks old yet so give her a break!
After finishing his pumpkin, Rob set out to carve her pumpkin. For her smallness, we got her a small pumpkin. It's just her size. It was probably best he carved the pumpkin since I wanted her to have a least a decent looking pumpkin for her first Halloween.
I bet you can guess which is mine. If you guessed the middle one then you would definitely be correct. Like I said, I decided not even to try to make it look decent because I'm just not so good with the carving. So instead of getting frustrated and mad that it looked horrible even though I tried really hard, I decided to just go with it. And you know what? I'm okay with it.
It is pretty awesome having a front porch to put our pumpkins on this year.
After completing our pumpkin carving adventures this year, I decided I wanted a couple of good family pictures. So I set up the tripod and set a timer and got quite a few really good shots of our new little family (minus Stella). I was so excited about how they turned out that I thought I would share one with you. Aren't you lucky! : )
