Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday afternoon we decided to go and pick out a pumpkin for carving. John Turner thought we were going back to the pumpkin patch. He was very dissapointed when we drove up at Wal-mart to get a pumpkin and our carving supplies. He said, "I go to pumpkin patch to get pumpkin." He finally settled for one from Wal-Mart.

John Turner and his daddy bought a book that had many different face designs to use for pumpkin carving. They decided on the silly jack o'lantern. It was the perfect choice! Now that they had their pumpkin, their carving supplies and had picked out their face pattern! They were all ready to begin carving!

John Turner was great at helping his daddy. He worked hard at getting the pumpkin's top to come off!

After a lot of hard work, it finally came off!


Next, they worked at digging out all of the pumpkin's guts! John Turner seemed to enjoy this part the most!

It is all emply inside now!

Next, It was time to carve out our pumpkin's silly face. This was a long process! John Turner decided he would go run and play with Oliver, our cat, during this part.

The finished product!

A perfect silly jack o'lantern!
