Pumpkin Drilling?

As I'm sure most of you have already done, we carved our pumpkins last night! (Nothing like the last minute *wink*) Little Pumpkin was hesitant at first to put her hand in, but as you can see ~ she warmed up to the idea!


Little Lion is an old pro now! He finished his in no time!


You can see the close concentration on Little Lion's face as he watches Daddy Lion. You may think it was to learn, but it was to supervise. You know, make sure Daddy Lion did just exactly how he was instructed by Little Lion!


I on the other hand copied a great idea! POWER TOOLS included! Instead of trying to make all those decisions on what shape to use for all the different parts of the face, Little Pumpkin and I made a more decorative pumpkin ~ who doesn't like polka dots?!?

Little Pumpkin really enjoyed the power tools too! Thanks Lisa, who copied it from Cheryl! *smile* The end result is really cool. . . my pic didn't turn out so well, but check out Lisa's!

After everyone was nice and clean (including the pumpkins)! Not the best lighting in this pic, but loved the sweet, proud smiles! Happy Halloween!!!

  1. Some years we don't even get to carving the pumpkins so as long as it is done before Halloween all is good. Glad you tried out the drill...it always looks so cool when done.

    Happy Trick or Treating!

  4. How fun! I always enjoyed carving pumpkins and having caramel apples and caramel corn. I wasn't much for the costume thing though. Hope you have fun tonight for Halloween. You can stop by for some candy, caramel corn and apples with caramel dip. We are ready for you. By the way that pic of Kate cleaning out her pumpkin is a keeper and contest winner. Love all of you.

  5. Jeff just said, "those are the best parents! those kids always have so much fun". It was also after he looked at the pic of Kate nearly inside the pumpkin and said, I just can't remember our girls that little....hum
