Pumpkin Carving

Last night we carved pumpkins. It's been a few years since we've actually carved them. We've decorated them with foam stickers that make monsters faces and with the plastic push in pieces. Andrew was the most excited about the pumpkins because he doesn't ever remember doing it.

We got the tops cut off, then it was time to dig for guts!

This is the inside of Andrew's pumpkin (he said it looked like it had ribs inside).


They look so thrilled. The pumpkins had been sitting outside for almost 2 days, so they were a might chilly inside.


Aaron had to show Abbie that it was okay to stick her hand inside.


She got the hand of it pretty quickly.






I love the look of disgust on Ashley's face!


After the pumpkins were all gutted, it was time to carve!




The finished artwork:



"Ouch! Ew, boogers! Ouch! Boogers!" Yes, the pumpkin is eating her hand and she does have a finger in it's nose too.


We had lots of fun carving pumpkins! It was fun to do something together as a family without the fighting/complaining. Tonight we roast pumpkin seeds!!
