CARVING PUMPKINS

The kids carved pumpkins on tuesday. The girls had never seen a pumpkin before and were quite intrigued. When I cut off the top of the pumpkin, Denaye said supper, and Maya took one look at it and siad "no.....it stinks" It was quite funny. Maya was such a good helper. She cleaned out both pumpkins with very little help from anyone. Sam lost interest in that part after the first scoop, but Maya was amazing. They really enjoyed this, but had no idea what it was all about. Trying to explain Halloween to them was difficult. The girls don't have much of a sweet tooth yet, so candy is not a big deal to them, however they love to dress up!!

Maya getting right in there and scooping out all of the seeds etc.

Denaye and Sam worked on a pumpkin together, but soon Sam lost interest, he just wanted to carve.

Maya thought the pumkins were stinky and it was yucky she said, but she kept going!!

Maya carving the pumpkin. I was amazed at how well she could use a knife. I didn't wan't to let her do it on her own, but she was determined. She did a fine job!!
