Last night we finally got around to carving our giant pumpkins from our trip to the farm a couple of weeks ago. Ezra had long ago decided on his design (a bat from the booklet that came with the set of carving tools) and Finn set about drawing his (a scary man). As usual, Papa was on pumpkin duty.
Ezra went an alternate route and cut off the bottom of his pumpkin. Then he had some exploring to do.
Finn’s level of concentration was unparalleled.
Ezra enlisted Bruce’s help to cut out his design.
When Ezra’s was done, he couldn’t wait to try out the black light he chose at the farm.
Finn and Bruce, meanwhile, continued to work on his pumpkin.
Finally, it was done.
Here they are all lit up.
Then Bruce had an off-the-wall idea to light them on fire using rubbing alcohol.
Needless to say, the kids loved it.
