Carving Pumpkins

The night before Halloween is when our family carves pumpkins. We let Austin pick out a face or design he wanted on his pumpkin...maybe next year we'll let him draw what he wants but he still scribbles right now, so that won't work! So, he looked at the carving book that we have and picked out a "spooky face." Daddy picked out a wolf howling for his pumpkin and then we got started.
Austin wasn't too sure about actually touching the insides of the pumpkin. He kept saying "ewww" and that it was "yucky." Eventually, he used this scraper tool that came with last years carving kit. He still wasn't into it though.
After a while, when Daddy was cleaning out his pumpkin, Austin decided that he might as well just do it. So, I did get a couple of pictures of him elbow-deep in the pumpkin!






This is the end product....we're pretty proud of our designs and our carving abilities! And Austin absolutely LOVES them both!
