Pumpkin Carving

A couple of weeks ago we went pumpkin picking and found these two. Can you guess which one is Daniel's?

Having to take them inside since the squirrels started to think they were pumpkin pies and eat them, we waited until last night to finally carve them. As you can see Daniel could not wait to dive right in. And yes, that is a sheet rock cutting tool, which we used to carve them. Don't knock it, it works great.



Since he was so excited to carve them, the tops came off and then the drawing ensued.

We did try to keep the space as clean as possible and that included Daniel. As always, he drove right in and started scooping pumpkin guts without any pants.

And even grabbed a handful of guts.....

"Ah, yes. This is what I am talking about."
Once the "guts" were removed from the big pumpkin, off the top came from the little one and pumpkin scooping continued. And of course it had to be with his fingers....

Gotta love the pumpkin seed stuck to his leg in the above pictures.
In the end, we had a good time carving them and Daniel had to make sure they were both all cleaned out....

"Anything else in here?" "Nope, so let's get to craving."
So how did they turn out? Here you go.... Daniel's and Daddy's pumpkins. Of course mine in still sitting on the floor waiting to be cut. Isn't that always the way?
