Riley was eager to help. Once she saw what was inside of the pumpkin, she didn't want anything more to do with it. She did pose for a nice picture though.
Trent helped until his hands got too cold. (The pumpkins had been setting outside for a couple of weeks so they were pretty cold inside.)
Reed helped longer than the other two. He managed to get quite a bit of his pumpkin guts cleaned out. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to get much of it in the trash can.
I guess it would just be easier to say this. I carved pumpkins on Saturday afternoon.
Riley wanted a Rapunzel pumpkin since she was dressing up as Rapunzel for trick or treat. I searched around on the Internet and found a pattern to use. Trent and Reed picked Phineaus and Ferb (one of their favorite cartoons). Riley's Rapunzel pumpkin took about an hour to carve. It was a lot of detailed cutting. After that, Phineaus and Ferb went pretty quickly. The patterns were more simple, and my carving skills had improved. We were all happy with the way they turned out.
I told the kids we will have a pumpkin carving contest one day. I have a feeling I may be the only one with pumpkins to enter in the contest. Theirs pumpkins may be at various stages of being done. Ha!
