CArving PUnkins


Here's our rendezvous with some large gourds. Lily was excited to help until she saw the innards. (her face in the bottom left picture about says it all.) From the time Andrew wielded the knife (looking a little too comfortable stabbing and gutting), Lily was content to just sit and watch. Zoe watched from afar for matters of trying to contain the mess. I did the sketching and carving of one 'happy pumpkin' and one 'scary pumpkin'. Their faces are not in their full-fledged glory seeing as I have not lit them up in the dark of the night (we had to carve in the middle of the afternoon due to Andrew's work schedule). Thusly said, Zoe was still scared of the scary one and kept on making a little scared sound while pointing to the scary pumpkin and saying, "hewwy". For the record though, she is now fond of petting the pumpkin after we showed her that it was 'soft' and 'nice'.
