Carving Pumpkins

This year we let the kids pick out whichever pumpkin they set their little hearts on. Of course, Kyrie had to pick the biggest one she could find. It weighed in at 34 lbs. and weighed more than she did. Luke is the pumpkin guy so he carved his own as well as Kyrie's. I carved mine and Ryan picked a non-carvable pumpkin so he just played in the pumpkin guts.

Since the kids couldn't use the knives and carve their own, we let Kyrie draw what she wanted hers to look like and Luke carved it for her. I thought the finished pumpkin looked pretty close to Kyrie's drawing. According to her, the eyelashes were the most important part.

Totally love those eyelashes! That's about the cutest pumpkin I've ever seen. I like the idea of having her draw what she wanted it to look like when she can't carve it. I'll have to remember that for Lizzie for next year.
