While we were working on gutting the pumpkin, Elora had her supper and a nap.
Then she and her daddy went upstairs to hang out while I did the actual carving. They came back down when it was time to do the eyes, and Brandon got out his drill. I wouldn't have thought to do it that way, and I have to admit that while Elora entertained herself on the floor
and Brandon went at the pumpkin with a power tool, I hovered over him until I could be sure that he wasn't going to destroy 3 hours worth of carving with that power tool. Once I was satisfied that it wasn't going to be demolished, I started taking pictures again. I'd say it turned out pretty well! I like our pumpkin. :)
That's too funny that it's your first pumpkin! We bought the carving kit and a cool light, but never got the pumpkin. This year, we have our pumpkin and haven't carved it yet. lol I think kids are the main reason people carve pumpkins most of the time. It's just too much work!!!
