Carving Our Pumpkins

Corrine LOVED cleaning her pumpkin out. She told us "I know how to clean a pumpkin out, I learned it in preschool!" (She still tells us about things she did in preschool last year.)


Ammon on the other hand looked at the slimy orange pulp inside the pumpkin and wanted nothing to do with it. I got him some gloves, and he was alright cleaning some of it out.



Simeon liked pulling the seeds out. He asked at least 30 times (NO JOKE) if we could roast the seeds. He really wanted to carve his pumpkin himself. He punched some of the wholes, then cut the moon out. When he is concentrating really hard, he sticks his tongue out-so cute!


We ended up with 3 good looking Pumpkins.



Ammon has a bat in front of a tombstone.


Corrine's is a ghost.


Simeon's is a moon with 3 bats.

We realized as we brought the pumpkins in, that they were going to be REALLY cold, since it was only in the mid 40's outside.

So cute!! It's in the 40's there? I wish we'd get some fall weather here. I think it was around 90 here today... ugh!

Um, those pumpkins look like they were carved by professionals! Cool, we'll have to drive by in the evening to see them in action.

Those are some good looking jack-o-lanterns. You guys are quite the professional carvers! I love the rubber gloves! That's a great idea!
