Last week we picked up Steven, Ben and Penny's pumpkins. On the night before Halloween we finally had some time to turn them into jack-o-lanterns. We decided that we would only worry about getting the pumpkin guts out that night though, and the next morning we would carve them. I'm glad we split it up like that, it made the whole process way less overwhelming since they all need lots of help still.
Here are the before shots of the kids with their pumpkins:
Since Penny didn't have her own pumpkin she spent the time climbing the stairs, getting into trouble and throwing tantrums:
Penny does this awesome thing now where she throws herself back when she's upset. I swear she is going to knock herself out one of these days!
The kids are all still pretty squeamish about pumpkin guts:
It took a lot of courage for them to pretend like they were eating them...
The next morning the boys and I scanned Pinterest for ideas for their pumpkins. Once they decided what they wanted they sketched it out on paper and then they used a dry erase marker to draw it on their pumpkin:
Then, because Tyler is much better at it then I, he cut them out:
Lucy went a different route with her pumpkin. She took a drill to it and made "flowers" It was super fun that she actually got to help "carve" hers and it was super fun to watch her use a drill:
And here are the results:
Benny was adamant that he wanted his pumpkin to have a loose tooth
Of course, Steven wanted a Creeper
Lucy and her flowers
