Pumpkin Carving

We carved our pumpkins today.

Colin had fun and did much better than last year. He was still overly excited and giddy to get to do pumpkins, same as last year. This year, however, he was not as apprehensive about digging out the pumpkin guts. He also took our word for it that they tasted gross this year. I remember last year we told him guts would taste nasty but of course he had to see for himself.

He worked hard to clean out the inside and then I helped him carve his face on it. He cracked us up when we were discussing what kind of face to carve. He said he wanted scary eyes, like this, then wiggled his eyebrows and tried to make his eyes look mean. Then he told me an angry nose, and showed me his angry nose. Finally he said his pumpkin needed a scary mouth and he tried desperately to make a scary mouthed look, but he could tell by our laughter it had come out all wrong. Poor kid. LOL The end results turned out pretty good. I made a one eyed monster, Colin got his angry/scary pumpkin, and Shelby is trying to signal Batman with his.
