We took on the task tonight of carving pumpkins and it is indeed a task when you have four kids carving pumkins at the same time, but it is still fun! Quentin got in trouble right before we started, so he was forced to pick last, so being that as it was, Zachery snagged the pumpkin that was as big as he was and he picked a silly face stencil to use. He found it pretty hard to clean it out as he made his way to the bottom, so we had to lower it down to the floor so he could finish cleaning it out :)
Kariana picked next and she picked the second biggest pumpkin and chose to make a skeleton. As she dug out the guts, she was flinging them to get them off her fingers. She ended up flinging pumkin everywhere, including in Kierstyn's mouth (directly across from Kariana). Kierstyn didn't like the taste of pumkin :)
Kierstyn picked the smallest of all the pumkins and chose the dragon, because she wanted to draw Shrek's dragon! She loved playing in the pumpkin guts! When James was done carving out her dragon, she snapped the head off and when James asked why she replied, "I'm hungry."
Quentin chose a spider to carve and he carved the big section by himself! He thought he was the king of the worl because he got to use a knife (pumpkin saw)!
Once they were all done they each put their lights in the pumpkins and found a place to put them outside. Overall they had a lot of fun and so did us big kids! I have a blast doing things like this, because I never had the chance as a kid :(
