Carving Pumpkins

Dave, Lindsey, and their cute boys came and stayed with us last weekend.  We couldn’t resist doing pumpkins while they were here.  Lindsey taught us to use a canning lid to scrape the insides out of the pumpkin.  Oh my goodness, that worked perfectly!  Here she is doing it, with Gid posing like HE is doing it.  :)

My girls LOVE these little boy cousins.  It’s fun to see their interactions with them.  Gid is obsessed with Kaylee and Rebecca is trying to get Oliver to be obsessed with her.

Little Emily had to do a pumpkin.  Jerrica had gotten just the right size at a pumpkin patch on a Kindergarten field trip.  The day she came home with it, she declared it to be Emily’s.

Seed by seed the pumpkins were degunked.

Emily didn’t do much work on her pumpkin, instead mama Jerrica did.  She said, “Why do moms have to do all the work?”  Ya, I wonder that too sometimes.

Gideon had to have his pumpkin napkin from lunch AND toothpicks sticking out of the ghost eyes.  Probably since Kaylee was using toothpicks for her pumpkins teeth.

The finished masterpieces!

There is just something about that flame of fire that lures you into a trance.
