First Pumpkin Carving!

This is seriously the first year that we have carved pumpkins with the kids.

I know, kinda crazy. It must be because I'm not that into Halloween. But they will definitely be asking to do it again next year. :-)

They did such a great job!

Both of them made up their own drawing for how they wanted their pumpkin to look like. Elissa wanted a cat and Zach wanted a scary face. I had gotten them a book of different patterns to follow, but they wanted to make their own. Darin and I helped to refine them. They did most of the work. Though Zach would NOT clean out his pumpkin. He put his hand inside once and then refused to get the yucky, slimy stuff on him again. LOL!

Newman had to be right in there with us. He likes eating pumpkins. :-)

Zach drew what he wanted on his pumpkin.

With a little help from Mama. (He didn't want to sit in any of the pumpkin gunk, so he sat on my knee)

She came up with such a cute kitty!

She took her time in carving so that she wouldn't mess up.

Then Daddy helped her perfect it. :-)
