after a yummy dinner of mummy dogs, bat brains, eyeballs, witch hair and a side of gooey blood (hot dogs, mac cheese, grapes, broccoli, and ketchup) we pulled out the carving tools and got to work a little early on our pumpkins this year . . . bailey will be out of town until halloween and new we couldn't squeeze it in before trick or treating . . . so, today it was!
bailey was late getting home so the girls and i started the "yucky part" as they refer to it! :) we gutted the pumpkins . . . well, actually i did, they said they were helping when they took turns daring each other to touch the "gross stuff"! even kam wanted no part of the pumpkin innards! ken decided to start taking pictures for us! :) so the pictures are courtesy of ken! :)
kam's pumpkin was first . . . ken and mck helped her choose a cute and chubby "girl bat".
mck decided on tinkerbell with sparkles (farkles in her case!)
ken had a crisis because every design she chose wouldn't fit on her short, fancy blue pumpkin. . . so, mom and ken switched and ken chose a funky witch design!
my pumpkin is a mouse motel! (thanks for the idea, mom!)
and bailey's. . . a spooky ghost face (i think he was tired by this point!)
we did some research on preserving pumpkins . . . vaseline seemed to be the best, but we opted for the easy, less messy idea of spraying them with lemon juice . . . we'll see if they make it until friday! :) (if not, we can turn it into a science experiment!)
