Pumpkin Carving

The day before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.  Since the weather was nice we did it outside in our backyard.  Ava decided she wanted a scary jack-o-lantern and told Rich to make a mean one.  I made a sad face.  I finished mine up first so I could make dinner.  We took a few pictures, but unfortunately we forgot to take a picture of the three finished jack-o-lanterns.

Ava and Rich (yes, that is Rich with a crazy wig) with all of our pumpkins.

Ava excited to start carving her pumpkin.  She tried so hard to do it by herself, but she eventually gave in and let Rich help.

Ava decided she needed to get me too with pumpkin goo.

At first Ava drew a really nice face, but then got carried away and kept going.  I was amazed that Rich was able to follow the her directions and carve a face.
