We had a pumpkin carving extravaganza last night. It has become tradition to carve pumpkins on Halloween Eve. Chuck and Jeni and Monga and Bopa were here and after dinner we moved onto carving time, and out came the power tools. Some people take this carving business pretty seriously around here. As you can see from the look on my Dad's face, he is very intent on his elaborate skull or goblin, he did two of them so I am not sure which he is carving here. I carved a bat, Keith a scary face, and Jeni a spider. I will take pictures tonight of them outside since the indoor photos don't look so fancy, but the pictures of the boys looking at them were pretty sweet so I had to share. They were so excited about the pumpkins!
The boys generally like the pumpkin cleaning part and the designing part (since we don't give them knives to carve with just yet), but this year Carson was disgusted by it. We could not even convince him to put his hand in the pumpkin. As you can tell from the photos he thought about it, he looked at it from every angle. He tried to put his hand in and couldn't do it. Then, he started gagging. No joke, my kid almost barfed from touching pumpkin guts. Please Carson, don't become a weenie, this mama does not do sissy well. Next year I hope he embarrasses the guts. Then again I should be careful for what I wish for.....and I should just be glad that they did not fling pumpkin guts around the house....maybe not liking them is good after all...
