Happy Nearly-Halloween, America!
So, as you know, this weekend for us was, well, insane. School parties, neighborhood house parties, lesson plan parties (oh, wait.) Anyway, by Sunday evening we were all pretty exhausted and tired and not looking forward to another week of work and school. We had already started winding the kids down for the evening, getting them - and us - into pajamas, when we suddenly realized, much to our dismay, that we had forgotten to carve the f***ing Halloween pumpkins.
Like a bunch of champs.
Trick or Treating would be tomorrow after work/school, so we were forced to do it tonight, regardless of how much - ooooh, how much - we did NOT want to do it.
This may be the fastest blitzkrieg of a pumpkin-carving session the Houghs have ever had.

The gutting process begins |
The girls are getting pretty good at handling knives - we didn't have to help them out at all this year. |
Kris made a pumpkin with braces this year - she's in orthdonics, folks - so, of course, both kids wanted braces on their pumpkins as well. |
Abby and her finished product |
From left to right: the party pumpkin (the one that had dip coming out of its mouth), Alayna's pumpkin, mine, Abby's, and Kris'. |
