Dearest Abby has never been allowed to carve a pumpkin. We have always painted our pumpkins. I refused to let her do Demons or spooky Halloween stuff. We came to a lovely compromise and began our 3 hour project.
First we pinned the template and wet it down. Then we took the exacto knives and carved the lines.
And scooped the insides out. THIS took her forever! Not the scooping part but the scraping part. I think she removed atleast 2 inches of the insides! Haha
Hali repeats the process with hers.
She thinks this is really great but gross.
After finishing the outline we dusted it with flour so the lines stand out better.
It's brains are all gone~
Hali pops the top on hers.

What is it with kids and bunny ears?

These were just great! I would have never thought of dusting the outline of the pumpkin with flour before cutting. Thanks for the idea!
Those are great! We don't observe halloween either, so we've never done jack-o-lanterns. But we may have to do something like the ones you guys did. :)
Those are so freakin awesome, Jenn!! We did ours last night too. The kids love "gutting" the pumpkin! LOL
those look great! we need to get ready to carve our pumpkins. luke loves to do it.
Those turned out so awesome! This is the first year we didn't carve pumpkins... the girls were kind of bummed. They always really enjoy it!
Those are great!
