Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving this year was much more adult-led than planned for.  Initially, Audrey was very excited and even spent time during the day drawing out her carving plans.  Once the process commenced, though, Audrey's level of help went up and down, but Kate's level of interest was very small throughout the whole process, as it took longer than they anticipated.  Plus, Kate was not interested in touching the inside of the pumpkin at all.  In the end, though, we had two beautifully carved pumpkins, and no one had to wear a garbage bag!  A win-win for the two little ladies.

Dad initially had help from Audrey when scooping out the insides.

Dad then started to draw Kate's design on her pumpkin.

Kate played hide-and-seek with Belle.

Audrey started to work on her design.

Kate built with blocks.

Audrey and Dad planned out how her witch was going to look.

The end result!  Audrey thought one of her gourds would make a perfect nose in Kate's pumpkin.
