Like everyone else, we give the whole pumpkin carving thing a try every Halloween season. This year, we got to them just a few days before Halloween. Each of the kids is now getting to the age where they're actually able to do some of the work themselves. Sadie and Frankie can scoop out the 'guts' themselves. While Eloise can give some of the carving of the face a go. Check out the Beef scooping out the guts: SD had a lot of fun gutting her own pumpkin. Eloise was her usual, reserved self. She took her time and was deliberate in separating all the seeds from the slimey stuff. You can check out some of the past adventures in pumpkins here on the blog .
