The Great Pumpkin


This past Halloween, Claire was a garden gnome and Gabby was a butterfly.  Claire had no idea what a gnome was before Halloween, but what better way to learn?

The pumpkin that we picked out this year with Nonni and B was huge.  So much so, that we thought if Claire kneeled down, she could fit inside.

Like she enjoyed her first Halloween pumpkin at 3 months....

But we didn't try it out.  Instead, we let the girls carve pumpkins.  They decided to do a spider and a cat.

They lasted about 10 minutes poking holes in their little pumpkin.  Then they moved on to eating pumpkin-colored cookies.  And the next thing we knew they were walking around like ghosts while their father did the carving.

The final result of all of their hard work:

Those pumpkins have the signature of someone who is a master carver - or at least handles a knife pretty well. ;)
