Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is such a fun tradition! Eden and Bentley were very excited to get to do this. I was excited to see how Olive would do with it since this was basically the first year she would remember what this was all about. It took quite a bit of convincing before she would stick her hand into the pumpkin, but eventually she did.  I think it was only one handful of slime before she decided she was done and her's was ready for carving.  :)

Bentley was a very focused worker. He cleaned his out nicely and then asked daddy for the carving help. He was a great director and made sure that the face was carved exactly as he was describing.
Eden found a picture of an owl in a carving kit and decided she was going to try to carve it on her own. She did such a great job! It was a pretty tricky pattern, but she very patiently took her time to carve it really well.
Karly was very entertained just watching all the action. Then she became quality control, and inspected each pumpkin before they could be considered complete.
Olive also insisted that she carve her pumpkin all by herself. He little knife poke marks turned out very cute.  :)


Eden's final work: a cute pumpkin face and the owl! Nice work Eden! 
I love this family of mine. So much happiness.
