Carving pumpkins

We had a big day today! Mer had her second skating lesson and it went very well. We talked it up all last week about how she was going to go out on the ice by herself with just the other kids and her teacher and it made a world of difference. She did wonderful today and enjoyed herself without getting too frustrated. She was able to get up and down and balance better. Eeek! She was so cute!

Tonight we carved pumpkins. Mer was so excited about this. Her help in the carving process consisted of scooping for about 10 minutes and then mom and dad did the rest. I don't remember carving pumpkins as a kid being such a chore.

So here she is digging into the pumpkin. Ewwww!

Getting into the groove.
Daddy taking Mer's cues and saying "CHEESE".


This is the aftermath.

I think they turned out pretty good. Mer picked out the bat (which I carved), I did the monster and Greg did the scary face.
