Pumpkins and Pumpkin Cheese!

I bet you have NEVER, EVER heard of pumpkin cheese! I hadn't either until tonight about two hours ago. We were getting ready to carve our family pumpkin and Cade yelled out "Mony can I take some of the cheese out of it!" I don't think I have laughed so hard in a while. It was wonderful! Of course, I let him take some of the cheese out of it!

Two years ago Cade would have been screaming and gagging and VOMITING if I even attempted to make him put his hand in that pumpkin! Not this year! He dug right in without any hesitation. Look at that face!

Now this person was not so thrilled about sticking his hand in the pumpkin! Haha! He wouldn't even put his hand in there by himself, I had to make him. When he pulled it out he keep looking at his hand and looking at me like wash it Mommy!
He just needed a little help from mommy, but he still wasn't overly impressed.

And after this - only the adults and big kid were left to work on the pumpkin since the little kids were not impressed at all.
Marissa's favorite part of pumpkin carving!
(Colin was still hanging around at this point but only for about two more minutes)
My favorite part - sorting out the stringy stuff and the seeds!
Looking online to find a stencil they like - and they did.
Working hard on the pumpkin - while Marissa plays on Facebook! The little boys were curious about the sound of the dremel tool so they made it back to the kitchen for part of this!

What do I do while they are carving?
YUMMY!
