Pumpkin Carving

Last Monday night we carved our pumpkins. It is so fun now the kids are getting older and can pretty much do their own. Phil and I aren't trying to juggle helping 4 kids! Kyson still needs quite a bit of help, he basically picks the pattern, helps mark it on the pumpkin, then Phil carves it. Kyson was funny about digging the "guts" out of the pumpkin. It seriously grossed him out. One wouldn't think he would get squeamish over such a thing, but he is. He was gagging at one point.
I managed to roast some of the seeds as well. That was a request from the girls, and they are the only ones who really like them. It was a fun evening. . . and only a few power tools were brought out.
Kauri doing her pattern. She does a really good job by herself and doesn't really want any help.

Phil and Kyson getting started. Phil was singing and being goofy. Still entertaining after 16 years of marriage.

It took several shots to get a picture without his mouth open!

After being Mr. Reluctant, Kaden did a great job on his pumpkin. The hair is courtesy of the drumel drill.
