Knife-Wielding Pumpkin Killers

We went to Lowes to get a few things for the house and picked up two pumpkins to dig into! Aiden was excited until he saw what's inside pumpkins. Then he was feeling less enthusiastic about the process...

Here's Aiden ready to scoop (pre-knowledge)


"Helping" take the seeds out (he was unwilling to get "icky" for this part of the project)


Devin, as usual, supervised the activities in the kitchen and kept us all in line.


Getting our pattern taped onto the smaller pumpkin


Holding the pumpkin's "eyeball"


The finished project! (Ian carved the skull and cross bones; I only managed the little winking smile.)
