Pumpkin Carving


We're gearing up for Halloween around here. We spent this morning with friends carving pumpkins. The kids didn't get into the yuck factor of cleaning out the pumpkins this year. They all, including the boy, tried to scoop the strings and seeds out with spoons. That lasted for about 10 minutes before they realized that doing it that way was going to take forever. Then they dug in and found themselves elbow deep in pumpkin guts, an admittedly yucky feeling. Plus they smelled pretty awesome for the rest of the day. (read with sarcasm.) In the end I, I mean we, got some really great carving done. I think these may be our best jack-o-lanterns to date!


finally digging in and very happy about it


the small one is a bat and the big one is hand drawn by Analiese


the boy trying to use a spoon. silly boy.


spider infested glitter pumpkins


The monster one is Christopher's and the other one is hand drawn by Sicily. It has freckles, she's so silly.
