Pumpkin Carving

Ah, that messy part of Halloween festivities! Of course, the kids ask all day when we can carve the pumpkins, and usually only remain interested for about five minutes. This year we let them play in the pumpkins guts, which they seemed to enjoy, but it took a lot longer to clean up! This year Eli wanted a scary face and for or "character face" Evan chose Diego from one of his favorite shows, "Go, Diego, Go!" We also had two little pumpkins that Eli got from his school party, so I free-handed them. It took awhile as usual to carve all the lines, John actually did most of the more difficult carving, but the kids have loved the results!

John had a good idea this year of using a "handy saw" which was way faster!

Go, Diego, Go!

Scary-face!

These two I just made up as I went

Scary-face all lit up! My camera has not been liking dark pictures, so this is the best we could get.
