The above pumpkins display our prideful work at this years annual pumpkin carving party. I can't remember how many years we've been doing this, but i believe about 10 years- or maybe a couple more. At the first pumpkin carving parties, Brian and I would show up with bags of carving accessories, including sand, water, music with speakers... yada yada yada. We became the couple to 'fear' at the judging contest at the end! Now, we arrive with the two kiddos and a simpler mind set... to just get the task done with smiles and laughs! The voting is always done in a 'survivor' type fashion, by voting off the worst first.. .until you are left with the best. Now with so many kids involved....we are a 'little' nicer in our voting and written and spoken opinions.... but not always.. This year, Brady didn't quite understand that blowing out the candle in the pumpkin meant you weren't going to win and when it was his turn, he was more than happy to do it. We'll see what next year holds!!!!
Sit back, relax & welcome to the Harrison world
Welcome to the daily happenings of the Harrison Family. It's crazy here, but we have a lot of fun. Mamma is clearly a little out numbered by the male species in the house, but it sure keeps things interesting. In our lives, you'll find lots of bugs, blocks, trucks, loud banging, clanging, running, hurdling off couches and beds, endless amounts of energy, no sleep, laughter from the belly, boo-boos, trips to the dr, walks to the park, did i mention no sleep? We hope you enjoy the ride as much as we do.

The Carving
So fun to carve! This year, Brian and I didn't come with any fancy designs, no speakers in the pumpkins...just simple Jack-o-Lantern faces. Breck wanted a Happy face and Brady requested a mad face. Brady dug right in and even used the carving tools. Breck, on the other hand, mostly played with the pumpkin discards that i gave to him. Once, I looked over and realized he thought the pumpkin looked mighty tasty and had taken several large bites out of it! Hmmm.... kind of gross, but he liked it!
