Violet really has been beggin me to carve pumpkins with her, so I decided that we could do a couple today. Of course, you may recall we bought a ton, so this is just the beginning. After doing a little bit of searching, we found the perfect design for our pumpkins. Violet was so excited to begin, and was a real trooper when it came to scooping out the guts and seeds. After we drew a simple face on our smallest pumpkin, she carved it out with her kid-safe cutting tool (with a little help from mom). Then I went to the task of carving the face on our largest pumpkin. We chose those two because we wanted them to look like this when they were done. They actually look pretty great, and the best part was the lighting of the gourds after the sun went down. Both kids were thrilled at how they looked! (although Riley was a bit concerned for that poor little "kun-kin")
Violet named our masterpieces when we finished. The little one is called "saddy" cause it's sad since it's being eaten. The big one is called "Jack" cause he's mean. (???)
Jack, you be nice, you hear me?
