It's that time of year again for pumpkin carving. We bypassed the pumpkin patch this year because someone (me) didn't feel like traipsing out into a field to find a pumpkin when they're so readily available at the grocery store. Never mind. The carving experience is fun regardless of where the pumpkin comes from. Without further ado, I give you Pumpkin Carving: A Photo Essay.
Cutting the top off the pumpkin.
Helping scoop out the guts. C wasn't super helpful but he did like holding the scooper spoon.
Little M helped too.
All clean inside!
Use your imagination here for when Husband was doing the actual carving and I was convincing C that waiting was going to be okay. He didn't think that was much fun.
Checking out the finished and lit jack-o-lattern. It's a walrus.
M and her first Halloween pumpkin.
Pumpkin Walrus in all his glory.
Ready for Thurday's Trick or Treat night.
(We do celebrate it early here. And the next town over has trick or treat on Friday.)
That little thingy M is sleeping in looks like something my new grandson has. And when he's in it, he looks so cozy. I wish they came in adult size.
ReplyDeleteLove the walrus!! Very cool! And I always just get the pumpkin from the grocery store. "Pumpkin patches" are here are just big fields where pumpkins have been laid around so it's sort of silly. But people flock to them for the photo ops!
ReplyDeleteCool walrus! We went cheap and bought ours for $3 on sale at Fleet Farm. Who cares where they come from! :) Pumpkin patches are so expensive!
