Pumpkin Carving!


Tonight, after the kids had their baths, it was time to CARVE some PUMPKINS!!!

Dominique and Tyler weren't interested in taking the "pumpkin's guts" out.
Tyler waited patiently to see if Dominique was going to be brave, and stick her hand in the "yuck."
... and
Tyler tried so hard to be a "boy," but it was "too yucky."
So, I decided to lend a hand.
After a while Dominique dove in, but not before asking if she could use a napkin to remove innards...lol.
Now she is a carving pro!
Look at us go!
Tyler's one and only attempt to get the innards out.

The kids thought it was so neat to watch the pumpkins come to life.
We carved three pumpkins in all. I helped Tyler, and Kris and Dominique created their own pieces of art. FANTASTIC JOB GUYS!

Now for the final touches. . .

These pumpkins are pretty scary...

...and here is our final product. Not too shabby!

  2. Josie was obsessed with all the pictures, she kept wanting me to stop and go back to look at all of them! Pumpkin guts are not my favorite thing either, glad you guys survived that part. Awesome final product, I especially loved that tall pumpkin..so cool!

  3. WOW! Way cool pumpkins - what a unique one Dominique's is. Good thing thing the kids weren't too interested in the pumpkin guts since they had already had baths.
