Pumpkin Carving!

In preparation for the big HRPMamas Group Halloween party, the Perkins were tasked with carving two rather large pumpkins. Were we up to the task?? You betcha!

First we needed all the fixins!! And what carving extravaganza would be complete without hot apple cider and a little Charlie Brown?? After all, this was Grace's very first pumpkin carving extravaganza and we had to show her how to do it right!

Here we are scooping out the pumpkin's guts...





























And here's Daddy meticulously cutting out the facial features of his pumpkin while Grace gets acquainted with a little Snoopy...
















Here's Mommy and Grace enjoying the cider. Mmmmm...










Looks like Grace is having a blast...

















And who wouldn't with all of this merriment?? Particularly the Charlie Brown. If you haven't seen the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown movie in a while you should Netflix it. It's pretty great! (Yes, that's the Quasar we are hoping to replace with a plasma real soon!)












The fruits of our efforts?? Here they are...

The traditional....










And the silly...
