Pumpkin Carving.

I left the hospital at about noon today, did some grocery shopping and then headed home. Donnie has been extremely tired and wore out, so most of the time I just watch him sleep. So I decided to leave for a little while and spend some time with the kids. I really miss just being at home with them all day, so I wanted to do something fun while I was at home. I have been meaning to carve pumpkins with them for awhile now but we just haven't yet. I thought today would be the perfect day to do it, because it actually felt like fall today :) I thought carving pumpkins would be rainbows and butterflies and the kids would jump around in excitement... boy, was I wrong. First, Brody didn't want to take anything out of the pumpkin because he said it was disgusting, then he cried almost the whole time because he couldn't poke the holes exactly on the line. I told him that he was doing a good job staying on the line but him being the perfectionist he is couldn't take it. Then once all the holes were poked he cried because he wasn't strong enough to saw through the pumpkin, so he gave up :( Makes me so sad when he feels so frustrated when he can't do something! But man was carving that pumpkin exhausting, needless to say I pretty much did the whole thing alone. He did enjoy wearing the bucket that I was putting all the seeds in on his head and unraveling all the tape used to hold the paper on the pumpkin. At least he got some joy out of something! Mia on the other hand loved playing with all the insides of the pumpkin and posed for all the pictures with the finished product! Man do I have two polar opposite kids :) Brody was very excited after he saw the whole thing completed, he would much rather me do all the work and him enjoy the end product! I was glad that I was able to have some time to spend with them today and do that, love those little kiddos!
