Family Home Evening: Pumpkins

I won't lie.  For the majority of our life together Lance and I haven't been the most diligent with family home evening.  The beginning weeks of our marriage we would listen to talks and mormon messages, but with hectic work and school schedules it just always seemed to impossible to dedicate our Monday nights to family home evening.  With a new baby on the way and a family of two suddenly becoming three we have talked numerous times about how to help raise our children within the gospel.  With the inspiring words from our beloved apostles and church leaders this past General Conference we have made much stronger efforts to include the practice of Family Home Evening in our weekly routine.  

Two weeks ago our FHE consisted of watching Elder Bednar's talk followed by an adventure to Lowes were we bought stuff for our duplex and picked up our pumpkins.  

This past week was our pumpkin carving night.  We watched a few more General Conference talks and manipulated these pumpkins to our liking.  I found a hilarious stencil of a baby in a mom's belly and of course couldn't resist... (and yes I think my belly is bigger than this pumpkin).
 Lance chose his idol: Batman.
 We have them all set up on our porch with Lance's halloween lights (black and orange).  We are all set for Halloween!
