Carving pumpkins is always an activity everyone looks forward to. The older girls really enjoy finding unique ideas to carve into their pumpkins and like doing very intricate designs. Because I usually end up doing at least one of the little girls in addition to my own, I like to keep mine simple!
Ninny jumped right in, had no qualms about getting slimy. Picking out the seeds one. at. a. time.
Ava doesn't mind getting messy either. She did grab more than one seed at a time, and did a pretty good job of cleaning hers out this year. I only had to scrap the sides for her, she did the rest. She likes to create her own designs, and draws them on paper, then on the the pumpkin.
Michaela had an original idea this year. She had a jack face, with a guitar going through his mouth with "rock on" above it. It was pretty neat.
Payden was the "scream" for halloween this year, so she carved that into her pumkpin. Here is Ninny poking little holes in hers with a toothpick. I think it made her feel like she was carving it!
Go Michaela!
As I said, I keep mine simple. This year, I just got out my drill and drilled a bunch of holes all over it. It was fun and looked really neat!
Afterward, we had chocolate pudding with cool whip on top. It was pretty good, but the little kids liked it best, I think.
Another day this week, we wanted to do caramel apples, but always find them difficult to eat. So instead, I cut them up and we drizzled (or dumped, as the case may be) our caramel, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and nuts on top. It was very good. Fall rules.
