pumpkin carving

We FINALLY got around to carving our pumpkin! (It may or may not just have been last night...) :) :)

I was really excited to do pumpkin carving with 2 little ones this year...and I thought FOR SURE my wild Will would be all about putting his hand in the yucky pumpkin. I was wrong...he could have cared less. Exhibit A is below. :)

Keatin, however, was very helpful and told Daddy all about how she carved pumpkins at preschool. That preschool...they beat us to it!

Will thought about joining in...but just kept crawling. :)





Josh told Keatin that we were going to put a candle in the pumpkin when we were done...so she dug these candles out of our junk drawer. :)

Exhibit B - still not helping, preferring to eat the corner of our plastic baggie drawer. :)


Even got the eating on video!



The finished product! Don't I have a creative husband???? :)






After we cleaned up the kitchen, we headed downstairs to play. Keatin found a pad of sticky notes...she loves sticky notes. SO...I took advantage of the "cool" paper and asked her to write her name for us...and she did SO good. God - she really is growing up, isn't she? (Sigh.) :) Keatin wrote all these letters by herself (needed slight help with the N) with only a few verbal reminders/cues from me - yeah big girl!

(And after looking at Barber Pumpkin Carving 2011, I just had to look back at 2010 and 2009!) :)
