Pumpkin Carving

We took some time today to carve our pumpkins...well at least one of them. We carved Kaiden's pumpkin first and he was not as excited as I thought he'd be. He was convinced that carving your pumpkin meant that we were going back to the pumpkin patch. Needless to say when we didn't he was a little disappointed. Kaiden did help pick out the designs for the pumpkin and even helped dad put the finishing touches on the carving. While Kaiden was easily distracted from the carving Hunter sat and intently watched Jerry carve. He even got his hands into some of the insides of the pumpkin (Kaiden refused to touch it!) and thought it was a little strange. I love the look on his face as he tried to figure out what he was feeling. Here's some pictures of how things went.
Picking out the design for his pumpkin.



I love how the baby is just watching Jerry. He's learning all the tricks so he can carve next year.


Kaiden got to help with the finishing cuts.



Here's the finished product...Kaiden's pumpkin!
I just think this picture is so funny. He's just trying to figure out what this stuff is!

That looks fun! I can't wait for us to carve our pumpkins!! It's my favorite!

I have bad news! Our get together next week isn't going to work. Cayman is scheduled for surgery. I posted a blog about it.
