Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins the Thursday before Halloween. It's always fun getting gooey and creative. I even roasted pumpkin seeds this time and took them to work for my preschoolers to try. I made the tradition salty ones and also some sweet brown sugar and cinnamon ones. And of course the sweet ones were the most popular! :-) Here's some pics to illustrate...

The finished products: Tigger-Grandpa Hessing's, Minnie-Jessica's, Pooh-Cooper's, Mickey-Steve's

It was kind of hard but fun carving the fine lines. My dad made the Tigger and Pooh. You can tell he's very artistic. You can see the artistic ability in the Minnie too. But for some reason Steve's didn't turn out quite like we thought it would...


:-) I love you Silly Steve!
