We actually did this over a week ago, but with The Mayor's birthday keeping us busy I am just getting around to getting the pictures downloaded. Believe it or not, this is actually the first year we carved pumpkins. We always buy pumpkins at the pumpkin farm but just never get around to carving them. I love the ones we got from the farm but I didn't want to cut those, so I headed to Publix to grab two pumpkins perfect for carving. We helped the kids draw the faces on the pumpkins and then we let them carve them. Love Bug needed help with the carving knife (it is a knife made for kids) so I did the cutting and she did the cleaning. They both got a kick out of what the inside of a pumpkin felt like.
The Mayor did the cutting almost solely on his own. D needed to help him with the mouth since The Mayor wanted a lot of teeth on his pumpkin. The kids were so proud of their creations and couldn't wait to get them on the porch for display.
Apparently we carved way too early because the pumpkins are rotting and molded now. They get significantly worse with each passing day so I think we are going to trash the pumpkins tonight and carve two new ones. They are seriously getting so bad I am not sure our current ones will make it two more days.
Happy Halloween!
