Pumpkin Carving

We carved our pumpkins last week. This was the first time we have carved pumpkins with the kids. The twins could have cared less about the whole process. Jackson and Mia helped for awhile then Jackson got distracted. Mia I think really enjoyed it though. I love to carve pumpkins and had a good time. We roasted the seeds afterward with butter and sea salt--yum!

Thought I would share this from our church bulletin regarding being a Christian and being like a pumpkin....
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside, and scoops out all the yucky stuff--including the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you for all the world to see!
Happy Halloween!
