Pumkin Carving- Take 1

I called this Take 1 because we have lots of pumpkins to carve. Ally has been asking so nicely if we can carve a pumpkin. I usually say its too soon, and we want to wait for Halloween. But jack-o-lanterns are popping up all over the neighborhood and she has noticed. She told me "some people have them" she was right. And when she asks so sweetly "please can we carve our pumpkin and eat the seeds" its hard to resist. So one night this week we did.

Ally got a marker to draw the face.

She likes happy faces.
She asked me to "make a jack-o-lantern" out of it.

Scooping out the guts.

Separating the seeds with mama.

The finished product! I cut out the pieces while Ally worked on cleaning the seeds. She was seriously motivated to eat the pumpkin seeds she remembered how yummy they are.

All lit up.

Being silly at dinner with her pumpkin for trick or treating.

We ate by the light of the jack o lantern.

Such a silly girl!
