This is a big halloween tradition in the world...carving pumpkins. It is an adventure every year because the kids grow, and so do their creative abilities.
Andy, Morgan, and Mattie were partners on their pumpkin. He soon discovered that carving wasn't an easy task. He chose a patern that was a level 3, which required a lot of patients...which my husband has none. But, after he got started, there was no turning back.
Trey, on the other hand, chose the more traditional approach and drawing by hand. This allowed him to do most of the work himself instead of watching. I think this is the first year he completed the pumpkin completely solo. He had a hard time understanding what you cut out isn't the part you see, it is what is left on the pumpkin that you see. So, at first it had razer sharp teeth, but was left with a huge smile!.
Here the boys are examineing their finished product and looking to see what can be improved. PERFECTIONISTS.
Mattie and her first experience. Pretty much all she did was watch, but she had to be straped into her chair.
The Great Pumpkin of 2008...and it's creaters!
