Pumpkin Carving 2011

I LOVE FALL! And carving pumpkins is just one of many reasons. Last night the kiddos and I tackled some big pumpkins. Daddy added the finishing finesse needed on the angry bird but that about wiped him out as he is recovering from back surgery. Anika was amazing; she cleaned pumpkins out, poked in the design, AND carved the ghost all by herself this year. Andrew tried to be brave about the pumpkin "guts", but he gave up pretty quickly. He poked the angry bird design by himself though. Kat issued a lot of commands and poked the ghost template for awhile, but she was more interested in getting them lit! We are so happy with the final results:-)

Anika carves all by herself.

BOO!

A ghost, an angry bird, and a funny face:
