Carving pumpkins. I can't remember the last pumpkin I carved. It must have been pretty long ago, as I didn't remember the first thing about it. I completely forgot how labor intensive it would be. After cutting around the stem for an opening and then removing the seeds, I was thrilled to know that I would be done fairly quickly. That's when Lib said to me, "Um, you're done? Uh, no Danielle, you have to scrape the insides out! Not just the seeds! Are you kidding me?! Haven't you carved a pumpkin before??" As she laughs, I begin to scrape. And scrape. And scrape. Once all was removed, I handed a Sharpie to Gannon and asked him to draw a face for me to carve out. Little Picasso went right to it and carving it took no time at all. It was a fun morning and a bit of a mess, but imagine how great our porch looked with these gems!
Course completed. Here's the line up. Lib's pumpkin is supposed to be a "witch's hat" but all I see is a Cyclops. Hmm.
Two very proud boys.
So precise, wouldn't you say? Precious little Picasso.
"Mommy, I want to hold dat knife." Not a chance kiddo. Only Mommies play with knives.
Gannon's finished product.
