Pumpkin Carving

Once again this year, we took on the task of carving pumpkins. I am beginning to think the kids do it just so I will bake the pumpkin seeds. Anyway, Jared had brought one small pumpkin home from a field trip and we had purchased two bigger pumpkins so there was plenty of work to be done.

First, we cleaned all the seeds and goop out of the pumpkins.

Then, I had the kids design a face for the smallest pumpkin. The design for the bigger pumpkins came from a book we had. Andrew enjoys a challenge.
