Pumpkin Carving

Today we did our traditional pumpkin carving! The girls could not wait to do their pumpkins ever since bringing them home last week. They must have asked at least 100 times!

This is Olivia's pumpkin. She wanted a mean face jack-o-lantern so I drew one on her pumpkin first to see if she liked it. She didn't. It just wasn't mean enough for her. So I started over and drew this one. She was pleased with it.

This is Sylvia's pumpkin. She wanted a snake but we felt that a goofy face was more in order. She didn't seem to mind.

This is Joseph's pumpkin. He insisted that it be an Iowa State pumpkin :) This pumpkin took far too long to do to look this bad! Some parts fell out of the design. Maybe next year we'll stick to the simple designs!

Here the girls are working hard on clearing out the innards of their pumpkins. Sylvia wasn't very interested in getting hers out. This picture was staged to make it seem as if Sylvia was really working on hers!!

More pictures here.

  1. Love the Iowa State one. We also went simple this year. Ella has the exact same shirt as Sylvia has on. Love it. Keep well.
