There’s nothing like yucky pumpkin guts, costumes and candy to bring a family together! We had a lot of fun this week getting ready for October 31st, here are a few highlights.
You can see that HipChick had a great time digging into the slimy pumpkin innards, and loved getting her hands dirty! This has been a new development since starting school last year.
Princess and Pea still haven’t gotten the whole “getting yucky is fun” thing yet.
We did the Pumpkin Carving Devotion I published last week, and the kids loved it.
Yum!! Roasting pumpkin seeds!
Touch that slimy stuff? You’ve got to be kidding!
Last but not least, Pea really got into her cheerleader role. She ran around shaking the pom-poms and yelling, “Go Team!”
I’ve shared this at Wrapped Emotions this week, where we were prompted to do something special with the family, and share it. We do things together a lot, but I rarely concentrate on the special feelings of being with my children and husband. It felt good.
These are some gorgeous girls! They do keep us busy, don’t they? I wouldn’t have it any other way. We have a saying in our house; “Girls Rock!”

Love,Love,Love the girls!! I always remember the times when I was growing up doing the whole “Pumpkin” thing. Of course now I have something to go along w/ that since you posted the devotional. I do have to admit though that this year we didn’t do a pumpkin. It just got too hectic this fall and we didn’t even buy one. Whats even more sad is that we grew some pumpkins which would have been great except for the heat killed the plant, but not before I got a couple small pumpkins. Really, All I had to do was go to my back yard.
Hooray for you Sarah! I’m glad you are building those memories w/ your girls and I’m sure they will continue them w/ their children as well.

Oh Sarah, your girls are beautiful! I love this post and the photos. What fun! And it’s not just girls, I have one son who pukes when he touches pumpkin guts.
I’m happy to hear that you made certain you “felt” the fun with your family this week.

Oh how precious, three girls in the house! They are all adorable. Glad you enjoyed your Halloween evening. You guys did the exact same things we did. Good to see you at WE.
Love,
Pinky
