As is tradition we carved our pumpkins the night before Halloween. I've always loved carving pumpkins and have made Chip help or at least watch me every year we have been together. It has been a lot of fun the last few years with Lily, but this year was the best so far as she was REALLY into it!! I loved it -- and I think Chip did too since he got "Danielle duty" and didn't have to pretend to care about my pumpkins. :)
I asked Lily what she wanted her pumpkin to look like and she said "mean and scary" like this and made the above face. It was super cute, but I still didn't know how to carve the pumpkin. So we took it step by step and she said she wanted square eyes, a diamond nose and the mouth to look like 'this" and made the face again! Finally I made her draw it on paper and she wanted a zig zaggy mouth so that is exactly what we did!
At first she was all excited to dig into the pumpkin, but then started using just one finger to get the guts out so I had to take over or we would have been there all night!
She wanted to carve, so I got it started and let her go out it and she was pretty good!! It was so cute, Lily was actually carving her first pumpkin!
Then for some unknown reason, Lily wanted to taste the pumpkin . . .
. . . and she did! She took like 5 bites! She said "It tastes just like carrots!"
Ta Da!
Happy Halloween!!
