Oh yes, the fun tradition of pulling ooey gooey's out of a pumpkin and carving a face on the outside of it. Dallin picked out his pumpkin a few weeks back, he was too excited. We tried to explain that it wouldn't last, but he did not care. So when he opened his, he not only had the regular ooey gooey, but he also had some green ooey gooey fuzzy inside (notice the face). He did not want to touch that, which I can't blame him. He got some gloves on to keep it off his hands.
This is the first time we have used those cute little carving knives that come in a set . I always thought they wouldn't work very well, they looked so flimsy. But I was wrong, they worked amazingly well and were just the right size for little hands.
They all made their own unique face this year. Dallin and Jackie completely on their own. It is nice when they are able to do things themselves.
Brea tried her best to do hers, but needed a bit of help. She did not like taking the oeey gooey out and needed a lot of help with that part.
Alyssa enjoyed watching everyone and walking around. She didn't understand what we were doing but she smiled by her pumpkin and looked cute.
I think Jackie did a great job. She added some yarn for hair.
Brea is trying to imitate the scary face she made on her pumpkin - pretty close!
The four pumpkins add a great decoration to our front porch. Good job kids.
