Look at this happy and quiet scene! What’s going on? Hours and hours of pumpkin carving, that’s what’s going on.
We bought pumpkins really early in the season and my carvin’-happy child couldn’t wait to get started. Using the teeny tools from a store bought kit, Livia cut up two pumpkins and did almost the entire thing, start to finish, by herself. (I only helped when the stems presented a challenge.) Over the course of a weekend I’d say Liv spent about five hours pumpkin carving. Way to go, kid!
Know what’s scarier than a scary jack-o’-lantern? A scary jack-o’-lantern that’s molding inside. So yeah, neither of our carved pumpkins made it until Halloween.

We need 2 pumpkins that need a carver. Come on over, Liv! The kitties could use some adoration, too. :)

i would say moldy pumpkins = need to buy more pumpkins for more hours of pumpkin carving. i love when kiddos find something that so completely engrosses them for a stretch of time.

Kate, you’re right! I’ll get on it. Methinks pumpkins will be carved this weekend. Oh yes.
Oh Jen, you are speaking Livia’s love language. Pumpkins and kitties? Liv Heaven.
