We went to the pumpkin patch last week and picked out 2 fairly large pumpkins to carve for Halloween. Today was the day I was determined to get those things carved! Somehow, every year, I think you forget how nasty and messy it is cleaning out the inside! Seriously, yuck. Jay left that job to me, which i was actually grateful for. He had to do the carving. If you know me, you know i am not crafty.. like not at all. Anyway, we had one stencil for a bee, and Jay did that one first. It came out really good. Then next he decided to free hand a mickey mouse. See what i mean, he is the super talented one in the family when it comes to drawing.. for sure! The kids mostly watched as they did not want anything to do with the inside of the pumpkin, and we obviously didn't let them do any carving yet. Maybe next year?! Anyway, check out the pictures..
Oh, and thankfully we decided to do kid friendly ones this year. No one wanted a repeat of the screaming and crying we got last year just doing regular jack-o-lantern faces! Yikes! You can check out the archive for those photos. Funny.
Happy Halloween!
