Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins for FHE this week. We grew a bunch in our garden this year and each of the kids got to pick their own pumpkin to carve. Ethan and Asia both have their own "safe" knives so they got right to it on their own. Ethan wanted a scry face and Asia just started carving and cutting away without any real plans. Ethan wasn't too sure about the removal of the gutts. He didn't want to get his hands all slimy, but Asia went right for it. Jacob was a little unsure about the sliminess too. He just wanted to take all of the lids to the pumpkins and try to fit them where they belong, like solving a puzzle. He also wanted to eat the lids. They weren't so tasty! It was pretty fun and they turned out pretty interesting!





Here are our finished products...


There's mine first, then Ethan's, then the baby's, then Jacob's, then Asia's and Mike's is last. Ethan carved his own and his new baby sister's. What a cute little pumpkin family, eh.
