Last night we tackled the annual pumpkin carving task. Joshua enjoyed the design and cutting portion of the project, but as usual wanted nothing to do with de-gooing the pumpkin. Matthew could have cared less about the whole project and was rather happy making a mess in the basement while the rest of us were working on pumpkins. Unfortunately, I think Matthew is just as averse to sensory activities as Joshua was at this same age. Thankfully doing kid-friendly designed pumpkins takes a lot less time to carve so we were done pretty quickly and the end results were pretty cute. This afternoon we'll mix a concoction to pour over the seeds and roast them.
Matthew liked exploring the pumpkin carving tools.

Plotting out the design on the pumpkin (notice the design he'd already drawn on paper as a guide).
Joshua did quite a bit of the carving on his own this year!
The final result!

The best part, lighting them up!
