Pumpkin Carving

The kids are old enough to enjoy jack-o-lanterns this year. 

So I went to the store to get the pumpkins. I had intended to get the regular size, but the kids fell in love with the tiny pie pumpkins. So we came home with two of those instead.

Jon started out with a knife. But it just wasn't sharp enough. So he finished with a saw.

The kids were fascinated and couldn't wait to see what the inside looked like.

They were NOT impressed. Dominic helped us scoop out the guts. But he thought it was disgusting.

 After Caitlin touched it the first time she wouldn't do it again.

After Jon was finished I realized I didn't have any matches. So two days later - here is the finished project.
