On Halloween Eve, we carved our pumpkins. The pumpkins the boys picked out at our trip to the ranch were pretty small, so while at the grocery store we let Tucker and Trey each pick out a big pumpkin. Trey picked out the really big one and the other one of course is Tucker's. The boys dove right in getting all the 'guts' out and did a great job with it too, I only had to scrape all the stringies off the inside walls.
We even let Ty in on some fun. He was sitting and watching from his high chair, but we wanted to see how he would react to the pumpkin guts. He was a little hesitant at first to stick his hand in there, but he did and felt around in there for a bit. After that he took his hand out and looked at his hand then put his face in the opening as to get a closer look. He did that 3 times, it was so funny and we were all cracking up. Then he went to try and take a bite out of the pumpkin..he tries to take a bite out of EVERYTHING! After he was done with feeling the guts and tasting the pumpkin, he gave it a hug and then gave the camera a huge smile, I think he really liked the pumpkin!!
Vinny is way more creative than I am and he decided to go online to look for some patterns. He found a good website with a bunch of different designs and let the boys pick which ever they wanted. Tucker picked the blue guy from Avitar and Trey picked Batman. It took Vinny quite a while to carve these because they were so detailed, so I carved the baby pumpkin, with a little help from the boys. Our jack-o-lanterns turned out great!
