Pumpkin Fun

We started out with our usual dinner in a pumpkin. I had to laugh, because the pumpkin we picked up for our dinner was a perfect carving pumpkin. Very thin with little gunk inside. Not so with our other pumpkins! They were very thick walled, and lots of gunk!



Corrine didn't want to touch the gunk. At all. She got grossed out watching us touch it! Look at her face here:

What she would do was scoop out one seed at a time with an ice cream scoop. Not sure why she had an ice cream scooper. But it worked for her!


Nope. Not doing it. You can't make me. Also, ignore the laundry in the corner.

Everyone got to work creating their masterpieces.


Ava had drawn her design for her pumpkin days before and was so excited to unveil her creation when we sat down. She kept saying "you guys are gonna love it, its so cool!" When she showed it to us, we oohed and ahhed, then convinced her that something similar but slightly easier to carve would be better. Here is her design:

Very creative, but that would have been a doozy!


We ended up with some great ones! Michaela was creative and used the stem for her nose, it looks really neat. Corrine is infatuated with Minnie Mouse, so that is what hers turned out to be. Ava settled on an easier design and it looks fantastic. I did leaves, Payden did a skull. Jason's creation is our name and year. Such fun!
