Pumpkin carving

Ben has been wanting to carve pumpkins and make jack o' lanterns since the first day of Fall, so for Family Day, Daddy got two cute little pumpkins to carve with the kids. (He got a really good deal too which was nice 'cuz they're SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE!!)

This was a first for the kids and me, so Daddy showed us how to carve them. Lily got really into it and was surprisingly good with the knife. (I was a little worried that she'd cut herself and mess up the pumpkin pretty bad too.) Ben thought that scooping the inside out was too gross so he handed his over to Daddy to make for him. Here are some pics:

Happy with their pumpkins.

Daddy put lights inside and I think they turned out pretty good! We have them in the bathroom as a nightlight. At first I was concerned that they would scare Ben but he loves them!

It was fun! I'd like to do this every year.
