Carving Pumpkins

Daniel and Ellie carved pumpkins this morning. I got Daniel an electric carving knife (not on purpose, it was all they had) so he was able to do some fancy carving with that.
Daddy helping Ellie with her pumpkin.
Ellie was in charge of scooping the goo out of her pumpkin.
Owen enjoyed watching, but I could tell he was a little jealous that he wasn't in on the action. Poor kid. Next year.
Daddy carving the big pumpkin.
Ellie scooping out the innards. She doesn't really like having her hands messy so she went straight to the bathroom after this and washed off her hands.

Owen looking very focused on what is going on.

Daniel starting to design and carve out the pumpkins.

The finished product. Apparently we had to do Homestar Runner. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a online cartoon kind of thing that is fairly popular.

Lucky Ellie had to do Homestar Runner, too. She didn't care though as long as the face looked "angry" and this one does I guess. Right now she is learning different facial expressions so when we asked her which she wanted on her pumpkin, she said "angry".

Very cute pumpkins! And I loved the pictures -- thanks so much for letting us be there with you! It looked like fun -- not at all like I remember pumpkin carving.
