Pumpkin Carving!

A few weeks ago, Amelia mentioned that she would like to carve a pumpkin this year for Halloween. I was all for the project since it had been years since I myself have carved a pumpkin. Last year we painted faux pumpkins. Which reminds me, I should go dig them out and display then outside. We bought one of those carving kits with all the little tools and templates for the occasion.

This past Sunday was a rainy, cold day so it was a perfect day to stay inside and carve. We went out in the morning and bought ourselves a pumpkin and after nap-time, we started.

Amelia REALLY wanted to do the carving but we talked her into helping remove the insides and poking out the carved pieces. Here are some pictures from our project.

Daddy getting started. Marking out the top. See how interested Amelia is?? LOL!



Here we go! Taking out the pumpkin guts! Amelia is NOT impressed.


This was her reaction to the task.


EWWWWWW! Pumpkin juice! Mama! It STINKS.

Busy carving out all the bits and pieces.


Punkie with her pumpkin!


All done! It's kinda spooky, Mama.

Can't wait to do it again next year!

Enjoy your day!
