Last night we carved our pumpkin. Eli was so excited about it. He has been talking about it ever since we got our pumpkin. We asked him what he wanted to carve into the pumpkin and he told us a happy face. I printed off 4 different patterns; a happy face, silly face, a cat face, and Mickey. I really expected Eli to pick the cat or Mickey but he decided on the silly face for our pumpkin. Mike got started and cut the top off and then the boys helped get the seeds out. Eli is not a fan of having yucky stuff on his hands but he did help for a few seconds. Jude didn't seem to mind the yucky stuff at all. Both of the boys had fun! After they got it all cleared out I got the honor of carving it. While I did the carving the boys had fun coloring a pumpkin picture. This was the first time that Jude has really colored and he had so much fun and really did a great job. Of course we had to remind him several times to not put them in his mouth! Eli absolutely loves to color but for some reason his favorite color to use is black. It was such a fun evening and something that I enjoy doing with our family every year!!
