Carving Pumpkins

We had some friends over tonight for s'mores and pumpkin carving.  Leiden was really set on doing it herself.  Here she is drawing her jack o lantern face, but she also cut it out herself.  She saw on the packaging that the little saw knives are for 6+ and she insisted that she be the one to cut it out.


Mac wanted to do a classic jack o lantern face, as well, but her improving eye hand coordination for drawing on paper was not translating to drawing on a bumpy pumpkin and she kept getting discouraged.  She finally asked me to draw it for her.  Triangle eyes, triangle nose, and a smile with square teeth.  Those were my orders.


Leiden did cut out most of hers all by herself, but got stuck in a couple places. 


Leiden's is the second from the left with the awesome crooked smile, while Mac's is the second to the right, with the big triangles.  The small one and the shark were our friends'. 


They were very happy--perhaps except Bryn (the screaming one:)) to take a picture in front of their masterpieces.  Also note Brad in the back, sticking his tongue out.
