pumpkin carving

Addison had a fever all weekend. When the meds kicked in she was her normal self, but as soon as the fever came back she laid around on the couch and didn't do much of anything. I was able to get her up Sunday afternoon to carve pumpkins. At first, neither one of them wanted to get their hands messy.
But then Morgan dove right in. She wasn't afraid of a little pumpkin guts.

Addison was hesitant throughout the whole process. I told her not to worry about the mess. A shower was next on the agenda. But remember. She is my child.
See. This stuff is gross.

Daddy was good at cleaning out the pumpkins.
The finished products. Addison wanted to keep it simple with heart eyes and a basic smiley face. I asked her if she wanted some teeth and she said no. I think she was still a little out of it. We had five stencils that came with our carving kit and Morgan picked the level 4 bat. I was a little nervous, but I think it turned out pretty good.
Pumpkin tip from our neighbor, who knows just about everything. Spray the inside of your pumpkin with hairspray to keep the bugs out. Rub the outside with WD40 to keep it from rotting. So far, our pumpkins look fantastic and are bug free.
