Drew was obviously too young last year to help with the pumpkin carving, but this year it was game on. I knew it would get messy and I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I couldn't resist at least trying.
The project started out good with a little helper right by our side. After a bit of coaxing, he even stuck his hand and would pull out some of the gunk.
But then somehow, he lost interest and this was more fun:
So we had to take over carving duties with some "supervision" from time to time....
But the pumpkin turned out great, and now Drew says 'elmo' every time he sees it!
We're no experts, or those families yet that can carve 4 pumpkins in one night, but I think our first family pumpkin turned out well. Thank god it's 2012 and there are templates out there to make life easier!
(Had to post this picture of my cheese ball and I!)
I love the pictures and the pumpkin looks great! :)

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I so wanted to carve pumpkins this year just to see if Henry would have any interest at all in it, but we're just about out of time for it now.
