Carving Pumpkins!!!! October 2009


This year the kids wanted to carve pumpkins.  Britt was all about it, ready to get her hands dirty, and she wanted to do the carving.  I talked her out of the carving part but she designed her pumpkin's face.  Clay didn't want to participate at first but changed his mind once he realized how gross he could get his hands! 


At school Clay had a pumpkin day where they filled out a booklet all about pumpkin facts.  One page told him about making pumpkin seeds.  He tried some at school so here the kids are separating the seeds out so we could bake them.  They were very YUMMY!

Britt wanted happy, Clay wanted scary.  Clay was a little disappointed that I couldn't make "fire" shooting from his pumpkin's eyes!  I thought I did a good "mean" pumpkin!

The finished, all lit pumpkins!
