This year we decided to decorate pumpkins instead of carve them. Carving is fun and all, but let's face it, the kids end up watching the parents do all the carving because you can't exactly let little ones manage a huge knife. And I've never been able to get those little carving kit knives to work, I always end up breaking them. Well, I think we'll be decorating pumpkins for a few years to come now because it was much more fun to watch the kids be more involved in the process!
We got this pumpkin from our garden. Grandma Jan was visiting and made a yummy pumpkin soup with the all the pulp :)
Tyce was really concentrating, he loved using a hammer:
