Carving Pumpkins





For family night last night we carved our pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns. It was so fun. The girls thought cleaning out the inside was really gross. It took Nikki a long time to put her spoon down and just go for those seeds with her fingers. I thought their faces in the pictures were great. I don't remember making jack-o-lanterns very much as a kid, but I'm so glad we have made it a tradition with our girls. It really is fun. Hannah and Nikki even decided I carved a better face than Nate! Since he is the artist in the family that was surprising. Nikki was working with me, and when she saw his nose, she said, "Don't make one like that, Mom." We got a good laugh out of it.

We did that last night too. Our kids also thought that the inside was really gross - infact they wouldn't put their hands inside. The girls have now names their pumpkin Kiki and they had to see it first thing this morning. What will they do when it rots?!
