Fun with pumpkin

A couple days ago, the kids drew on the pumpkin. J put hair on her pumpkin too.

It's pretty obvious to know who drew which face. :)

Then over the weekend they started carving or rather cutting. :) First, the kids were not excited over the prospect of carving the pumpkin mostly I think because they were scared to to use the knife but once they got started, daddy says they "couldn't stop". On the very first one, they even tried to drill but I don't think that worked well. Yesterday, I watched them carve this 2nd pumpkin (from our garden, hence the color) and they were both fierce carvers. The 2nd one had lot less scratches compared to the first one.



This is the first one they carved.
