Pumpkin Carving Day

Sunday, October 26, 2008 was our 4th annual Pumpkin Carving Day, and the second time with Janelle's mother Stacia and sister Amy. As usual, the boys were distracted with the football game on TV, but eventually we got all of the pumpkins carved and the pumpkin seeds baked.




See below for the individual carvers with their pumpkins (my apologies to Amy for no picture with her finished product, so I substituted her work in progress).
















For any of you who haven't heard the news yet, Janelle and Mark are going to be parents, on or around June 8th. This was the first time that we had all been together since we heard the news, so baby talk was the topic of most conversation. I think the new parents-to-be were completely overwhelmed. They better get used to it!

The pumpkin carving day is a wonderful tradition. A legacy not to be forgotten. Looks like a lot of fun with great participants.

Can't wait to see the new Radtke baby involved in this some day.
Congrats!
