Carving Pumpkins

 

 Our friends Paul and Patty invited us over for FHE and pumpkin carving the week of Halloween.

Lexi was really excited and got really into it.

After her pumpkin was finished she helped Paul with his.

 

Lexi made some really great faces while cleaning out her pumpkin.

Sean used a stencil to carve an owl on her pumpkin. It turned out great.

 



Avery wasn't as animated about it or as excited as Lexi.

Patty helped her carve a princess.

 



Sean borrowed a tool from our neighbors that you hook up to an electric drill

and it cleans out the pumpkin for you. It did an amazing job too. We need to get one of those.

 

 Eli had no interest in sticking his hands in a pumpkin.

And I didn't no get into the carving. It's not my thing anyway and the smell of the pumpkins

was making me nauseous. So I just quickly carved a question mark into Eli's pumpkin.

 

 

All Eli did that night was play with Paul and Patty's two puppies. He was in Doggie Heaven.

 

 

And I didn't get any pictures of the final products. The pumpkins wilted and rotted so quickly.
