Making Faces

Jonah got the chance to carve pumpkins for the first time this year. We thought it would be fun if he was involved with as much of it as possible. He was unsure about everything in the beginning, but remained curious about it none the less. (I love his facial expressions as he watches what I am doing.) I was sure he would like the slimy aspect of it, being a boy and all, but...not so much.

 

Next we scooped the guts out and got ready to carve. Jonah liked holding the tools and scooping, but only when the really gross stuff was already out.

 

Next came carving. Andrew likes to sketch the face on the pumpkin before he starts carving while I like to just dig right in and hope it turns out like I want it to. (Says a little about our personalities doesn't it!) Jonah had daddy help him with his pumpkin. Andrew even held Jonah's hand so he could carve it himself.

 

The finished product!! Baby Pumpkin! (Isn't Jonah strong? Look at that physique!! haha)

After a little clean up of excess goo on the pumpkins it was time to set them up as a family.

"Mama Pumpkin, Daddy Pumpkin, Baby Pumpkin", declares Jonah. Happy Halloween!!
