Pumpkin Happiness

Here is a little bit of pumpkin happiness…..

Drove by a local church and let Cupcake Girl pick out 2 pumpkins. She said she knew she wanted a white one and as soon as she saw the bumpy one…..well, that was the one! I love the stem on it and all the texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a bit of rest time, we cleaned out, carved and cleaned up the white pumpkin. We decided to model the pumpkin face after one of the many faces that Cupcake loves to make. Not quite sure how successful I was, but we had a fun time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She didn’t really clean it out all by herself, but she was a bit help!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was privilege to hear a running commentary on the texture of the pumpkin’s insides….wet, dry, gooey, slimy, etc…..

While I was carving, Cupcake decided to color the unusable remnants which turned into a pumpkin stamp. Of course she used her favorite color….black! I was also instructed on the art of stamping. Everyone knows you have to use 2 hands when you press down…….hard!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty cool pumpkin impression. The drawing in the upper right is her impression of my sad face. She said, “Let me see your eyes. Now your nose and you big sad face.”

So, here is the final result from the pumpkin carving adventure
