Pumpkin Carving

We had a neighborhood pumpkin carving party today.  Mike and I went late at night last night and picked up three pumpkins.  Maysen didn't want to carve one.  The only problem was, all three kids wanted the same pumpkin.  Mike came up with a contest to see who got the pumpkin.  He would ask them questions, depending on the answer they could move forward one square.  For example: Step forward if you made your bed today.  It was pretty funny.  Preston ended up winning.

Preston surprised everyone when he picked a different pumpkin.  The game was still on.  Mike had Stockton and Jorja stand on one leg and lean forward.  It came down to whoever was willing to empty the dishwasher when we got home.  Stockton tried to convince Jorja not to fall for it.  Jorja got the pumpkin.

I didn't get any pictures while we were there.  Stockton ended up winning.  There were six winners of about thirty pumpkins.  One person just carved big holes and stuck their baby in it.  It was pretty funny and their baby was adorable.  They won.  (The baby was also the grand-daughter of the judge.)  Anyway, Stockton was super happy.  Audrey came over with us.  She was sad she didn't win.  She whispered to me, "I even said a prayer that I would win."  What a sweet girl.  Such a hard thing to learn.
