Pumpkin Carving!

Wow, blog posts 2 days in a row!  Go, me!

This afternoon we carved our pumpkins!  Jeremiah did not seem to remember our pumpkin carving adventures from last year or the year before (careful if you look at those 2 links... you will be reminded of just how BIG Jeremiah is getting!), so this was all "new" to him.  Adam is the expert pumpkin carver in our house, and Jeremiah was quite excited to help daddy "scoop the yucky stuff out" of the pumpkins.  Well, he was excited until he actually started scooping the stuff out. :)  HERE is a video of it.

Pretty excited.

After all of Adam's hard work, I think the pumpkins turned out very well (he says these ones are his best yet-- if you look at the above 2 links from previous years, you can judge for yourselves)!

Not bad, huh? :) (FYI, he did not "free hand" those carvings-- we buy the handy dandy little carving kit from Hy-Vee that comes with patterns and all the needed tools).  But they do look great!

The pumpkin carving process was a little too long and boring for Jeremiah, so HERE is another video of what he did while Daddy carved (before he got REALLY bored and went to play with the iPad).

Our little pumpkin with his pumpkins. :)  Next up, Trick-or-Treating on Tuesday night!
