This year the kids carved their own pumpkins from start to finish. I think this is the first time they have done the work themselves.I was surprised that they didn't freak out about pulling all of the icky stuff from the inside, especially Cami because her pumpkin was beginning to rot (slightly). There was a little hole in her pumpkin and I think this allowed air in and it started to turn black inside. There were parts that were becoming like a black liquid. Yuck! But Cami dug right in and cleaned it all out.
They both created their designs and did the cutting themselves. It helped Daddy to know that the kids were using the special pumpkin carving tools that are made for kids and not ordinary kitchen knives. The kids can't cut themselves while using the kid-friendly tools. Phew!
Cami also carved a little pumpkin for Mr. Husky, her favorite stuffed animal. You'll see it in our annual picture of us and the pumpkins.
We carved our pumpkins the night before Halloween and they held up well overnight. Sometimes they begin to dry out and they lose their charm.
