Pumpkin Carving

For FHE on Monday I decided I was ready to carve our pumpkin. I thought Natali would love to stick her hands in and get all messy. I was mentally prepared to have pumpkin guts everywhere and armed with an immediate bath. To our surprise, our little girl wanted nothing to do with sticking her hand inside and feeling the cold slimy pumpkin innards! Who can blame her. Instead she would stick a spoon in and try and scoop them out. It was a fun activity to do! And Natali loved the end product. Natali and I cleaned the inside of the pumpkin and Ben's job was to do the carving. Good job Dad!



Isaac helping the best way he knows how!

Not to shabby if I say so myself!!!

Oh I love the pictures! Madie is right there with Natali and the pumpkin guts. I totally thought she would get down and dirty with them, but.... not a chance. Your pumpkin looks great, good job Ben.

So fun! Now I'm wanting to carve some pumpkins. I'm with Natali--I'm not a fan of pumpkin guts!

Love the jack-o-lantern. Lauryn didn't want anything to do with the guts either, but the older kids loved it. We also painted, that was more Lauryn style, finger paints!! Happy Halloween!

I love the ghost pumpkin, very creative. We are carving our pumpkins tommorow for FHE- hopefully they turn out as cute as yours. Ammon really wants a pumpkin with a mustache and I'm not quite sure if I can pull that off, we'll see how it goes. Do you still have family in CA? If so, have they been affected by the fires? I read on Stephanie's blog that they had to evacuate, so scary! Hopefully everyone close to you is safe!
