What do you do on a beautiful Fall day? Carve pumpkins!
The chickens sort of get in the way, but Jax didn't mind. And the chickens did a pretty good job at clean-up.
I borrowed this camera and it's unbelieveably slow in taking photos, so it was hard to capture just what I wanted. The pixels are bare minimum, too, so the photos look kind of grainy. I sure miss my camera, but at least I'm able to capture these special moments of all three of my kidlets preparing for Halloween.
This was the first year that both boys could carve their own pumpkins, or at least the first time I felt safe enough to let them. lol! Jenna decided that she never wants to scrape out the pumpkin guts ever again, thank you. Ewww.
Here's the finished Jack-0'-Lanterns. Jem's is on the right...the one with the Uni-Brow.
Jen's toothless wonder is in the middle. And Jax lays claim to the double-chinned pumpkin at the right, who is badly in need of some dental work.
Happy Halloween Y'all!!

The kidlets did a great job on the pumpkins. Scary and funny at the same time. It's a great way to spend a beautiful fall day.
The pumpkins are adorable. Somehow time got away this year and we didn't get any carved, oh well better luck next year. I too don't care for the scraping out of pumpkin "guts" too slimy.
Enjoy the weekend.

Those made me laugh! Excellent characters, all. Happy haunting.
Great post and great photos! Loved that the chickens "helped". Your kid's spirits shine through in your photos.
They did a great job. My 2 chickens are in training to learn to be chickens. They don't know yet how to eat food scraps other than tomatoes. And they are finally coming out into the yard. The barred rock was said to be a free range chicken so I don't know if she is keeping the younger one company or both were caged before. I may just take them to my friends house and let them go to chicken camp for the winter to learn to be happy rangers with her chickens. lol
Have a great weekend.

I love the photos of your kids carving the pumpkins with the chickens around! That is so much fun.
Great pics! Chickens are soooo helpful in these situations. :)
It looks like your chickens and your kidlets all had a great time carving pumpkins!
Hope that you all ahd a safe and happy Halloween!
That is classic--carving pumpkins with chickens! I bet those were some happy birds.
I love your jack-o-lanterns!
Super pumpkins - well done, kids.
I think I need to get some chickens to keep our place cleaned up - but I guess they can also make their own mess.

Memory making day! Wonderful art carving. Good job, kids!
Looks like the kids and chickens had lots of fun. I missed not carving pumpkins this year. We were just to busy.....there are still two pumpkins sitting on the table...maybe we will carve them late and enjoy them. Then the chickens can have them when we are done......=)
A double chin and a uni brow!! LOL!! Too funny! Your pumpkins look awesome!! The kidos did an awesome job!! I love that the chickens cleaned up the mess!!
The kids did very well with their carving! I like the chickens in the photos, too. Did they eat the pumpkin seeds?
Lisa that first photo is precious. I love the pumpkins. they turned out great.
Those were too cool! I love carving pumpkins and do it with the kids at school, but for home I've slacked off. I never get any trick or treaters, either! ;(
