Carving Pumpkins

We picked up 4 pumpkins yesterday at Kiran's fieldtrip...one BIG one (33 lbs to be exact!) and a few smaller ones. Kiran crashed on the way home and took a nice nap. When he woke up the first thing out of his mouth was, "Can we go carve pumpkins?" And, fortunately, the weather was so nice - it was a perfect day to sit outside and carve pumpkins. So, that's what we did. Now, in actuality I did all of the carving. My dainty little boy just won't have his hands getting all slimy with the pumpkin guts. So, I did most of the work. He did pick out templates (which we couldn't use - our pumpkins were too small) and I did my best to replicate them on the pumpkins. He also enjoyed making the markings for where we would carve with one of the little tools. The carving tools these days are quite advanced!

And then, of course, there was some tackling/wrestling with papa in the front yard, too!
