Pumpkin Guts

Just like we contemplated a trip to a pumpkin patch, we contemplated carving pumpkins, but in the end decided to continue on with holiday traditions.

This adventure started with Daddy finding his little hand saw and VW screaming and running, "don't saw me, don't saw me!!" Squealing and chasing galore!

Ok, settle down and start the carving...the boys watch Daddy and his amazing carving techniques.

First time done! Great accomplishment for the boys, as they excited display the 'lids' to their jack-o-laterns.

Time to dig in, but not before we had the biggest spoons ever and wet wipes readily available. We would NOT want to get pumpkin guts on us! Mommy did the majority of the clean out. Eventually the boys joined in, inquisitively digging, sometimes taking turns, but finally had a pumpkin ready for carving...with a little drama along the way.

Then Mommy and Daddy went into action, thinking simpler this year as the boys ran by us, screaming, crying, hitting, punching, and all that fun brotherly fighting. Ta-Dah!
