1st Pumpkin Carving

We finally got to carving the pumpkins. It was so much fun! We were not real sure if the kids would let us cut their pumpkins. Let me tell you how loved these pumpkins are...every morning the kids would say hi to them...give kisses on their stems and hug them...they LOVED them, so cutting was a delicate issue. Jeremy started out by drawing faces on them. The kids got to pick out what shapes daddy would draw.
Here is the crew working on Alex's pumpkin...
Finished faces...

Once we cut one pumpkin, everyone jumped on board with the idea. Daddy could not cut them fast enough. Alex used the spoon the whole time...

Liz did not mind getting her hands dirty...

Zach was more interested in putting on and taking off the "lid"...and tipping the pumpkin over to dump out the seeds...

The work area...

The aftermath...Alex's finished pumpkin...Liz's finished pumpkin...

Zach's finished pumpkin...

The trio...Alex and Zach's are looking at Liz's and hers is looking at both of them...lol.

From pumpkins to Jack-o-lanterns
