Crocktober Fest

 
We had some friends over for a potluck October party today.  We started with carving pumpkins.  Emma had her pumpkin ready.

Olivia had her pumpkin too.

Marcus is ready to carve.

The kids got down and dirty...this is the best part!

They really do enjoy this.

The power tools came out in full force.  Dustin cut all the tops off with a saw!

Kaydin had no problem getting dirty either.

The adults did the carving of course; our kids are all still a little young for that.

Olivia did draw her face on the pumpkin and Daddy carved it out...cute!

While the adults finished carving, the kids decided to play in the leaves.

They raked a big pile...Aubrey, Harlow, Marcus, Kaydin, Cruz, Olivia and Emma are ready to jump in!

And there they go!

Leaves are so fun!

The finished pumpkins. 

We got all the kids to sit in on a picture!
Top row is Olivia (7), Kadyin (6) and Emma (7).
Bottom row is Hunter (3), Aubrey (5), Harlow (4), Easton (1), Cruz (3) and Marcus (5). 
Everyone brought crock pots full of amazing chili, soups, etc.  There was bread and salad and even apples dipped in caramel.  It was the perfect Crocktober Fest!
