For Family Home Evening tonight, we carved our pumpkins. We left the little pie pumpkins we got from Stokoe Farms, and instead carved the ginormous pumpkins the girls picked out from a nearby farm stand. Miranda has been sick with a fever, but after some Advil and GingerAle, she perked right up and had a great time, as did all of us.
Nica got some help, but she did carve quite a bit of her own.
Miranda lovin' scooping out the pumpkin guts.
Megan had the biggest pumpkin and was the last to finish.
Zoë had to battle a soupy pumpkin- her's was already a little too ripe.
Nica wanted to see if the rat would fit in her finished pumpkin.
Mirand's finished pumpkin- I think she got the facial expression just perfect.
Megan's finished pumpkin- spooky and silly, the perfect combination for this girl!
Nica wanted to take a picture of me with her carved and her "potato-head-like" pumpkin. I didn't carve my own pumpkin (usually I help one or more of the girls and I am exhausted by the time I would get around to my own. Maybe next year when they might all be able to carve their own).
