Carving Pumpkins

We love when it is time to carve pumpkins.  It is always a family affair.  The kids are starting to appreciate the art of eating pumpkin seeds, but Stevie is not a big fan of scooping out the pumpkin guts.  I could not get him to participate for the longest time.

Abbie, on the other hand, had no issues.  She was diving right into that pumpkin and making a big mess.






Even Ben got in on the action as best as he could.


I think the favorite part is painting the pumpkins once we carve them.  I think the kids have more fun painting than anything.  We started to paint when Stevie was little because I didn't want to worry about the knives and the painting has stuck as the kids have grown up.
