Carving Pumpkins

IMG_3173

Sophie fell asleep a couple hours before her bedtime on the night we carved pumpkins.

She was not very happy when we woke her up.

But then we showed her a pumpkin and told her what we were going to do.

Then she was happy.

She liked feeling the squishy insides of the pumpkin.

And she thought the top would make a good mobile.

Carving (yes, we used a pattern). Tucker liked licking the pumpkin while we carved.

I sang Sophie the one Halloween song I know—“Skin and Bones.” Andy thought the ending was too scary for a seven-month-old, but I think she liked it.

I took three pictures trying to get a shot of Sophie, Andy and Sophie’s finished pumpkin. In this one Sophie’s looking away.

In this one Sophie has crazy eyes.

And in this one Andy has crazy eyes. (They really are creepy, aren’t they?)

Sophie’s finished pumpkin! We held out the patterns to her and she picked the cat.

At this point it was Sophie’s bedtime so she was with us in spirit while we worked on another one.

Here’s our other one.

Then we enjoyed roasted pumpkin seeds with butter, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
