Mommy's Little Pumpkins
We carved pumpkins on Saturday, but it was too dark by the time we finished, so I had the kids go outside today and let me snap a photo of them with their art work.
They came out so cute. This has been a yearly tradition since Gracie was 3. Well, we always did pumpkins even when she was a baby, but the more difficult carving techniques didn't appear until daddy had to do an article on pumpkin carving for the paper. Well, was just so much fun, and I love and art project--so, each year it seems like we try to make it harder and harder!
This year is the second year Gracie attempted to do hers solo. She did about 90% of it, and we are super proud of her for sticking it out. These stencils are fun, but are very tricky--even for adults. Just ask Tom, we made him to Mount Rushmore one year!
Want to see them lit up?!
The pumpkins that it, not the kids!
Gracie did Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. Thomas picked Daniel Tiger, so mommy did that one, and Daddy did the Tardis from Doctor Who.
They look so neat all lit up!
LOVE the Daniel Tiger pumpkin! He's a favorite at our house. I'm a horrible mother, but we're skipping carving this year! Bryce and Emmy carved the fake kind with my parents while we were in Charleston, so that counts right?!? We have an Elmo and an Angry Bird!
