Family Night at the Christensen's

Last night for Family Night, we promised Tyler that we would carve his pumpkin! So after dinner was all cleaned up, I went to gather up our great carving supplies from last year! After searching everywhere, I realized that I had hid that dangerous battery powered knife from the kids last year-- and I'd hid it well. I couldn't find my own hiding spot! Typical me. Oops....

With Steve's little hand injury, he needed an efficient knife to aid his weak hand. So he and Tyler decided to make a trip down to Walmart to find another Pumpkin Carving Kit. Well, that trip to the store ended up unlucky! No more seasonal pumpkin kits left! And soon after, three additional stores proved that last minute shoppers miss out.

Last minute luck didn't stop my boys, they just came home with an electric/battery powered, knife/tool set! When they came into the house, little Ty yelled, "Hey Mom, we finally found it! We got a big tool set to carve my pumpkin!" Anyone who knows my husband would laugh, because this is typical Steve! Whenever he does something, he does it big!

That heavy duty power-knife did make pumpkin carving a whole lot easier! Unfortunately with bedtime quickly approaching by the time they came home, we only had time to carve Tyler's last night. Tonight, they plan to finish up the others! I think Steve had us all laughing through the entire evening!
