The highlight of Halloween for Ashley and David....Pumpkin Carving!Ashley's lip isn't that big or distorted! LOL! Anytime she draws or does anything "artistic," she sticks her tongue out to one side of her mouth. And what is really funny, Kevin and I both have also done it since childhood!
And the family tradition carries on to David...see the tongue! LOL!
David giving his pumpkin EARS....
Ashley had "difficulty" getting the top of the pumpkin off.
She cut and cut and cut...and wanted to know if we had given her a "trick pumpkin!"
Oh Me, the dear child should been "a blond!" LOL!

Finally, progress.....
Pumpkin guts were a flyin'....
...causing the pumpkins to lose their lunch.....
I know, pretty gross, huh??? LOL!
And what one does, the other has to "up it!"
And to change gears a little, or Seasons...
Ashley and I, are headed to church tonight, to pack shoe boxes full of goodies for Operation Christmas Child. (Samaritan's Purse ~ Franklin Graham Ministry)
I look forward to putting these together every year, just imagining the little children who will receive them! :)
(Click on the picture below if you would like to learn more about this wonderful ministry...)
Items we've gathered over the last month, ready to go.

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween! ...and enjoys plenty of treats!

Looks like ya'll had fun ! Gosh those kids look just like you girl !
Love the pics of the kids craving their pumpkins! So fun! We have participated in filling the shoe boxes in the past and it is the most wonderful feeling, my friend. Hope you have lots of fun tonight preparing those boxes of love.:) Lori
Your kids looks so cute during their magic cutting on the pumpkins.
At our church we bring our "shoe boxes" already filled...and I have turned in my boxes a week or so ago. This is certainly a wonderful program...and so glad we are able to participate.
Cute the Christmas boxes are such a nice thing to do each year.

Your David is such a little cutie...those freckles are too much! I think that is so wonderful that you are sending packages like that...what a great tradition to have with the children!
I miss those pumpkin carving days! Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
The kids looked like they were having some fun...too funny about the tongue thing as I do that when I am sewing...I love what your church is doing for Christmas to make some children happy is really what life is all about.. God bless and thanks for sharing..and I hope there no calories in Halloween candy girl because I just ate a bag of it...Hugs and smiles Gloria
Hi Rhinda, I am sitting here just cracking up over that pumpkin carving!....Your descriptions of each picture are so funny!...and very proud of your good work for children at Christmas!.....great post!!!...Heidi XO
How funny! I think you should have displayed those pumpkins throwing-up though on the porch. That would have been a riot ~ don't you think????? It would have scared kids. . . that's for sure. . . would have grossed them out too!!!
Blessings,
Sher
Hi Rhonda... I really enjoyed the pics of the kids creating their Jack O'Lanterns... such concentration on their sweet faces! I had to laugh at Ashley thinking she'd been given a "trick" pumpkin!... LOL ... toooo funny!
We've done the same Shoe-Box ministry for years, too! I think it's a wonderful thing to do, and so easy and such a positive family effort, as well. ♥ I was so glad to see that you posted about it and provided the link for folks that might not be aware of it...
I'm slowly making my 'rounds and catching up with everyone... I dislike it so much when I fall behind like this... Hope you're having a pleasant evening... God bless...
~hugs, love ♥ 'n prayers~

Hi Rhonda,
Those are great pictures of your kids! I love the expressions on their faces and the creations too!
We do the shoeboxes too....I think in a week or so we pack ours!
Diane
How fun
Happy Halloween
Morning Scooter...love the kids carving pics! lol Don't you know you can't get your creative juices flowing until you have the tongue sticking out! lol They turned out great and what a wonderful program that is to give to other children like that...great post sweetie....have a safe and Happy Halloween!
Rhonda,
Great pics of the kids. Looks like they had lots of fun. Thank you for participating in Operation Christmas Child. Please continue to pray for this important ministry to kids around the world.

I enjoyed the pumpkin carving pictures. They appeared to be having a wonderful time. The Christmas boxes are sure to be a blessing to each child who receives one. God Bless You! Love, Faith
That's one of my favorite things to do as well.
Love your display on the front steps.
Happy Halloween!
looks like fun...Have a great Halloween!!!!!
Looks like a lot of fun was had at pumpkin carving time!!
Have fun packing up those shoe box goodies!
Happy Halloween!
Fun family activity! We haven't carved pumpkins since the kids were little, I know I get the "bad mom award" for that. Wonderful that you do these gifts for children. You are such a sweetie. Am I right that Ashley looks like you? I look at your wedding picture and I see Ashley in you! Have a happy Halloween and thanks for the tip on no calories in the candy, I think I'll steal a piece or two from the give-away bowl!! Cindy
Hi Rhonda :)
I think we're the only ones in blogville that still carve pumpkins like that LOL They look great!!
Oh and of course candy is calorie free on Halloween and every day after that until the leftovers are gone ;)
Happy Halloween!

Your kids are so cute! It is fun to do the pumpkin carving thing until the "guts" come out...Our church also participates in the Christmas Shoebox ministry. ;-) Bo
Hi Rhonda, hey we are doing the boxes at our church and school too. I love doing this. Great job on the pumpkins, they really turned out great. You will relish these pictures for years to come! Hey how is the house coming? I know lets get through Thanksgiving first! hahaha, time is speeding by it feels like!
Blessings

Hello Miz Rhonda,
Thanks for taking time to post such sweet comments on my blog! I appreciate you! Love the pumpkin carving, we did a bit of that too around here so I'll need to post those pictures *smiles* Looks like your crew really got into it *smiles* Oh to be a kid again!
Yes, it's very difficult to work at HL AND still have a paycheck. I've been buying a bit of slightly scratched and dented harvest stuff (greatly reduced) to put away for son's wedding next fall. It seems there's always something to tempt me. Too bad we don't live closer to each other cause I'd share my employee discount with you!
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend and thanks again for your sweet comments!
Happy Halloween!
Hugs,
Liz & Mabel
Happy Halloween!!! Cute pumpkins!!!
I love Operation Christmas Child!!!
Have a great night!
Kim
Hi Rhonda. Boy, you should have checked those pun'kins better - you got hold of sick ones!! lol
Too cute and love how your kids were so into their carving. Have a great Halloween
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hmm, I still stick my tongue out without realizing it when I am involved in something LOL!
The pumpkins look great! Tim did ours last night. It's the first time I gave him a knife and the ok to use it!
My friend does the shoe box gift giving thing as well. I usually give her some things to include. I think that it is such a great idea.
Have a Happy Halloween.
take care,
Dawn
What fun you all had!
Looks like y'all had lots of fun! Have fun packing those shoe boxes!!! Happy Halloween to Rhonda, Ashley and David!!! Nancy
How fun to see their complete concentration on their pumpkins! (I also stick my tongue out when concentrating.) It was worth their efforts. They turned out great! laurie

I have an award for you on my blog. Stop by when you get a chance.

Cute pumpkins! And sounds like a wonderful Christmas program!
I LOVE the shoebox ministry!! It was always a HUGE deal at my home church and I still enjoy putting them together every year. What a treat. I would love to be one that delivers them some year- wouldn't that be amazing!??!
The pumpkins turned out cute. Enjoyed your pictures!
