Carving Pumpkins

To be honest I don't really LOVE carving pumpkins. I loves baking the seeds and eating them but the whole cleaning out and cutting and carving isn't my favorite. The kids did a pretty good job of cleaning out their own this year with just a little help from me. Dad is always watching some sport on TV and loves to walk around and compliment the goings on, but let's face it, isn't much help! And, someone always ends up in tears because it just doesn't turn out right! This year it was Mikayla, whose in the end turned out to be the best!

Saddie used the punch outs this year so she was done pretty quick.

Jordan did awesome carving his own skull and then some... He even messed up and was okay with it...

Nicole helped Mikayla showing her what to do. She carved a bird that ended up falling out. I saved it with some needles though.

I helped Brinley carve a cat that turned out super cute!

So here they are. Mikayla's is the bird and that's a tree not a giant hand. Jordan's is below hers with the scull. Saddie's is the star and bat face, Brinley's is the cat and Nicoles is Egore holding a skull. They all turned out very cute! We had a fun night and the kids LOVED it! That's all that matters right?
