The kids were all excited this fall to carve a pumpkin. We finally got to it last weekend. Mom monkey has been down with the flu for about a week, so Dad and the kids did this on their own.
First we got a pattern that we downloaded and printed, then cut it out and traced it on the pumpkin with a sharpie. We had bought some patterns over the summer specifically for this, but of course we couldn't find them this weekend when we needed them. We'll probably find it at Christmas.
Secondly, we then de-gutted the pumpkin. The kids pitched in like champs (I thought they would be too squeamish).
Pat is having second thoughts about the "guts"
Nicole didn't really touch the guts. She is just posing.
This is the pumpkin with the pattern on the front. Can you tell what it is?Final step, we cut out the pieces from the front. This was kind of delicate. I did a lot of the fine work, but the kids got to cut out some of the larger pieces.
Voila!! Final product. I bet you can tell who it is now!
