Pumpkin Carving

The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Saturday.

So after soccer and a morning and afternoon of outside projects we set out for some fun.

We spent the evening carving pumpkins, grilling and eating outside and having our first fire in the new fire pit.

The kids were really serious about their work.

And about our 'friendly' competition.

Sullivan was so excited you would have thought it was the best night of his life!

Really, this kid just has excitement pouring out of every side of his body.

He loves life!

(and wow, sometimes its exhausting for the rest of us!!!)

Tess didn't want much to do with cleaning out the pumpkins so we gave her a marker and a 'baby' pumpkin and she was busy for the longest time!

Sully's is on the left and Lauren's on the right.

Avery and Daddy didn't quite get theirs finished.

Anyone surprised by this?

Then it was time for fire and smores!

This picture is smokey but Tess was just SO happy to be helping daddy!

I just love our fire pit.

So relaxing.

After the little two were in bed we stayed outside with the older girls for a bit.

Lauren is the original Daddy's girl.
