Carving Pumpkins!

Last night we finally got around to carving our pumpkin. We moved the dining room table, spread out a sheet, and got to work. Ingrid thought it was pretty cool to be standing in a place where our table usually was.


Brendan drew a face on the pumpkin, and Ingrid helped. She really really wanted a permanent marker, but had to settle for a mechanical pencil that had no lead.


She scooped out the guts and helped put the seeds in a bowl. We're going to try to roast them today. Yum.

And this is the finished product! Ingrid didn't really know quite what to think of it. In the dark with the candle lit she was kind of creeped out. However, this morning she kept singing over and over again "pumpkin, pumpkin!" So it's a hit!
