Pumpkins-done!!

We finished the pumpkins this week. Mason was the most excited about the process, he helped everyone with their pumpkins. When we were cleaning out the pumpkins, he kept complaining about all the "cheese" in the pumpkin. I told him it wasn't cheese it was pumpkin "guts." It does look like cheese! We use the pumpkin carving kits and the kids decided that they should work together to poke the holes to form the pattern. Laura kept saying 'let's work together as a tea, it will go faster." Everyone worked together and they did get them done very quickly. They were very excited that teamwork was so fast. I was so proud of them for working together, it is a very valuable skill to learn! The pumpkins turned out super cute and the roasted seeds were a delicious snack! We ran out of time carving pumpkins and Nicole carved hers in the evening with Daddy. They turned out really cool too.

Pumpkins- making progress!

All the pumpkins are gutted! The kids are really excited, we will be able to carve them tomorrow! It is quite a process when there are eight pumpkins to do! We tasted roasted pumpkin seeds today and the kids loved them!

"Chicken Little" is going home today. Have the kids "read" it to you!
