After our trip to the farm on Saturday, we had to come home and carve up our finds. We'll we actually only carved up one of them, because carving pumpkins with a two-year-old can take awhile. I carved up the rest of them (mostly) by myself Monday morning during Sesame Street.
I got one of those kiddie carving sets at the Dollar Tree. If anything, Brennan enjoyed wielding the carver like a scepter. This set of pictures also made me reconsider growing out my bangs (again). I actually cut them Sunday morning, but I don't have a picture of them because that would have meant me fixing my hair today.
It fits!
Daddy gets in on the action.
After our day at the farm I was feeling all Pioneer Woman-ish, so I saved all the seeds with the intention of roasting them. I didn't realize what a pain it is to separate the seeds from the goop. We'll see if the effort was worth it.
Brennan didn't know what to think about the pumpkin goop.
He thought he'd check out to see how tasty the top is. (Or the "hat," as he calls it.)
I thought he needed a closer look at the pumpkin goop.
I don't think he thought that was such a good idea. : )
OK, maybe that wasn't quite so bad.
"Smile for Daddy!" By this time Jason thought this project was taking forever and was going back and forth from the living room to the kitchen. Hmmm, football or hour long pumpkin carving. See the dilemma?
Brennan looks like he's ready to retreat with Daddy.
Wow! The pumpkin got much more interesting when we started on the face.
Finally done and by the front door.
I think he was happy with the finished product.
The only bad part (besides pumpkin goop all over the kitchen)? Brennan liked him so much he didn't want to leave him outside. We had a big display of tears when it was time to go in.
If Brennan had his way, Mr. Pumpkin head would be sleeping in his bed next to him.
Ewww.
