Its Pumpking Carving Time!

After picking the perfect pumpkins out from the pumpkin patch we had to carve them. We did our carvings in 2 shifts. The first night of carving Elliot got to tired and ended up going to bed right before we were going to start, so we carved pumpkins with Gavin and then a different night carved Elliot's pumpkin.
Grant decided to paint a face this year instead of carving his pumpkin.

Gavin showcasing the pumpkins. He was trying to make his own Jack-O-Lantern face with his missing teeth. I would say it looks pretty good!!


Now it's Elliot's turn!

Elliot needed a turn at drawing on the pumpkin too!
Elliot was not to sure about the next stage of pumpkin carving. The next few pictures show Elliot getting braver and braver. First he needed to check it out from the sidlines. Then he sat on daddy's lap and put one finger on the pumpkin
He is getting closer, but still thinks daddy needs to be the one digging out the goop.
Finally he goes in for a dig!!!
Elliot's favorite part of the pumpkins was after they were carved and we lit them. He sat and looked in the pumpkins for a good 20 to 30 minutes.
