Carving Pumpkins

Dale joined the girls and me for our annual pumpkin patch outing this year, which was, of course, super fun. However, Dale and I have different ideas on the "perfect" pumpkin, and rather than trying to convince the girls to get the smallest pumpkins they could find (so I could easily carry three pumpkins around all morning), he actually sought out nice, large, round pumpkins for the girls. I made Dale carry the pumpkins while the girls played on the fort, went down the giant slides, looked at the animals, visited the bunny colony, and generally enjoyed the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins sat at home for a few days, and then Dale bought a pumpkin carving kit and the girls were excited to help him carve their pumpkins!

The pumpkin-carving set came with a book of stencils, which made cutting cool designs easy!
