Everyone was too excited to wait another day to carve pumpkins. Grandma and Grandpa Jolley offered to come and help after Spencer's insistence (from Kuwait) that I would cut off a finger trying to carve pumpkins. I guess he's aware that I'm not that skilled with a knife.
First off, Grandma Jolley tried to coax the kids into helping scoop out the pumpkins' "guts." As you can probably guess by their faces, she was not successful.
After GRANDMA scooped out all the guts herself, the kids practiced drawing their faces, deciding what they wanted them to look like.
Grandma and I helped the kids draw their faces on with a marker.
Now here's where it gets pretty fancy. Grandpa fired up his skill saw and expertly cut out the faces we had drawn. The girls, of course, had to leave the room because of the noise. It worked really well though.
And after some candles were added, everyone was happy with the results!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
