Girl and Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday we found out we're having a baby girl. I was hoping to have a boy to have a buddy for Colby and so we wouldn't have to buy all new clothes and toys and to re-paint a room. Darren, on the other hand, was really hoping for a girl. He even wore a pink shirt to the ultrasound. He is very excited! I'm excited too and nervous since I don't know what to do with a girl. What scares me is doing her hair. I've had the same hairstyle for 20 years (give or take) so she may not look so cute until she can do her hair herself. Oh well, it will be fun to have a girl in the house and to see how different she is from Colby.

After our ultrasound we decided to carve pumpkins. I realized this is not a kid-friendly activity. Colby can't do the carving and he doesn't like to get dirty so he wasn't about to stick his hand in the goop. He pretty much ate cookies and watched us.

Darren is pretty much a scrooge when it comes to any holiday. He didn't want to carve pumpkins but I talked him into it. Apparently once he gets into something it has to be perfect. He really go into the carving. As you can see, he even got out his drill to make his pumpkin look the best.

Colby colored and stickered pumpkins. I carved my pumpkin but of course it looked like crap so I only photographed Darren's and Colby's.
