Carving Pumpkins

 So, we carved pumpkins for the first time!  Yep, we finally did it.  I don't know if it was mess that always stopped us, or just finding the time, but we finally did it.  And guess what?  It was fun! 
(It happened to be crazy hair day at school too!)
 The kids were totally surprised at all the grossness inside the pumpkin and that they had to stick there hands in it to get it out. 
 And then, we let them carve them.  With a knife!  Really, is that how everyone else does it?  It seemed so dangerous but I felt like I had to let them be independent and do it themselves.  They each decided on their own what they wanted to carve, and then went for it. 
 Even Mckay did it.  Look at him getting into it.  Luckily, no one was injured. 

 Mckay thought it might taste good too!  He said it wasn't that bad!
 Nate volunteered to help Nat figure out her idea.  She wanted a witch and a bat. 
I think they all turned out pretty good.  Mckay's Mouth is awesome!  Nick's has a "U" on the side that you can't see.  And Nat's witch and bat, love it! I guess Pumpkin carving will finally become a yearly tradition. Finally!

The pumpkin knives and scrapers at the store are totally worth it! Buy them now to use for next Halloween. Not so scary as kitchen knives and they work so much better!
