Maybe it's because they are always overly ambitious with the patterns they choose,
maybe it's because I *always* end up having to finish the
three half-carved pumpkins left on the table by myself,
or maybe it's because pumpkin guts are almost impossible to clean up
after they've dried on the hardwood floors.
Regardless, I secretly dread it every year.
But, (and I'm sure you've guessed it) this year was different!
The kids did so much better! The pumpkin guts were cleaned up quickly,
the kids picked (or drew) their own EASY patterns,
AND they even finished them.... By themselves!!
It helps to have the the right tools of the trade:
Dominick, unsurprisingly, was the most enthusiastic
and started straightaway with very little help from me!
Diana did not enjoy the gutting, but managed all the same!
And Brookie, trying to lessen her pumpkin footprint, made her own litte workspace on the kitchen floor:
And behold: The Three pumpkins that I hardly no part in!!
