Carving Pumpkins


October seems to be flying as fast as the witches will be Sunday night! The kids have been waiting to carve pumpkins since May when we planted pumpkins in our garden. We ended up with 21 pumpkins. Pretty fun!!!

This was the first year Jake joined in the tradition. He was all about using the little carving tools. Drew was a bit indifferent when it came to cleaning the pumpkin, but when he figured out he could draw whatever he wanted and I would carve it, waiting for him to poke out the pieces, he didn't want to stop. Notice his Jack-O-Latern has circle eyes, triangle nose, two cheeks on each side, and a happy mouth with teeth. :) Audrey and Corbin even managed the carving process a bit more independently and each pumpkin turned out great!
