Oh Pumpkin!

We were with my family this weekend for our monthly FHE - this month: carving pumpkins. Grandpa had grown enough pumpkins for each of the grandkids to have one. They all got to carve their own, with the help of moms and dads of course. We told Adam that he was going to carve pumpkins and kept asking for it for 2 days. He was so excited, although I don't think he really knew what carving pumpkins is. His attention span with the pumpkins was very short, especially his own - he had to constantly check out what everyone else was doing. Thanks to dad, the project got finished. He is so proud of his pumpkin now, it has to stay in the house with us, we are not allowed to put it on the front porch. :)

Carving Pumpkins - with lots of help!

How did they do this?
(Don't worry - the knife is plastic)

While dad scoops out my pumpkin, I think I'll take a little reading break.

The finished products!

The two-year olds soon found that it was funner to combine all the puzzle pieces in grandma's closet than to carve pumpkins!

All a-glow!
