Pumpkin carving 2019

Pumpkin carving 2019 - Lucy was most interested in scooping goop...Dave hates the goop but the rest of us love scooping it out! He cuts the the tops off and helps with the carving but leaves the slimy goo to us.

  

After she cleared out her pumpkin, Lucy was happy to draw faces on the smaller pumpkins.

 

This year, Max wanted to carve his own pumpkin...he even had a vision for how he wanted the face to look which he drew on the pumpkin first with dry erase marker. Next, we gave him one of the small carving knives from the kit and he got to work! He needed supervision, of course, but very little help.

 

 

Dave came up with two ideas to carve and surprise the kids with - a ninja turtle for Max and a unicorn for Lucy, which they loved.

Max was very pleased with his happy little jack-o-lantern and they likes my spookier-faced design, too. Carving success...Happy Halloween!
