Pumpkin Carving Caregroup Night!

Our caregroup gathered last Saturday night to decorate pumpkins together. We had the kids paint pumpkins and then we cleaned up that MESS and then got to work trying to win the "most creative pumpkin" award!Aubrey was the youngest participant and thought she was really one of the big guys!

Mackenzie took her time on her pumpkin... so precious to see all the kids creations!




Aubrey is obsessed with shoes... just one more thing that makes her like my sister :) She loved my shoes with the sparkles on them and kept coming up to me and saying, "Shoes! Shoes!"


Our fearless caregroup leader, Matt, led by great example with his "carving knife!"

Love the concentration on these faces!

Matt had to carve his pumpkin outside... wait to you see their results!


Jake did an amazing job on our pumpkin.... I helped by taking pictures and keeping the kids out of his way ;)


And of course it can't be a caregoup event without lots of food!


Our rivals!


The kids kept busy downstairs... I thought they were being really good so I went to investigate and found this fun happening!!


Then we called everyone together for voting time... #1 rule: no voting for your own pumpkin!


Sherie's... she was going for originality ;)

Matt and Jess came up with this phenomenon!


Jake's inspired creation!


Joe and Nancy contributed this godly pumpkin! (it would have won, but we didn't have a category for godliness!)

Jen had the winning pumpkin! We all loved the nose!
Jess and Josh had the same sort of idea that we did... but we were impressed with the emotion that they brought to their pumpkins face!


A fun caregroup memory! So grateful for all of these people in our lives!


Random picture... but we found Aubrey asleep sitting up when we came home from a wedding this weekend. We figured she was determined to wait up for us, but she probably succumbed to sleep around 8:30!

About Me

My photo
I am a sinner saved by grace and I married my best friend, Jake, in May 2005! God has blessed us with three adorable little girls that we get to raise together in a beautiful home in the most charming neighborhood in America! They are a joy to raise and continually make us aware of our need for a Savior! We are thankful the Lord did not leave us in our sin, but sent His Son Jesus to die in our place, bearing the just wrath of God that we deserved, and giving to us Christ's righteousness instead. Through His grace and forgiveness, we now are free to love Him who saved us and to extend the mercy we've been shown to each other. We pray our little ones will come to know Christ and that we will be faithful to proclaim the good news of Jesus to them not only with our words, but with our actions and our interactions with each other. So please enjoy reading about the Moon family, we're so glad you stopped by!
