Pumpkins and Power Tools

Carving pumpkins is a favorite tradition.  Rachel didn't want to carve one this year.  The kids' least favorite part has always been scooping out the "guts" and I think she was just over it.  Maybe next year.



Aaron and Hannah enjoy having free use of the sharp knives and I cringe with each move they making praying they don't miss and stab themselves.  PK really enjoys this activity, too.  Again, I think it is the use of sharp objects. 

 



This year power tools were mentioned and PK thought that was a great idea, so he pulled out the drill to help Hannah with some details.  I was a bit worried when the power tools came out.

 



In the end, everyone had all the fingers and blood they started with, cute pumpkins and seeds to roast.

Next year I am going to carve a pumpkin using the drill and just make small holes all over it.  I think it will be really pretty when the lights shines through.
