Pumpkin Cutting Adventures



Last Monday evening for family home evening we carved pumpkins. To our surprise Kayla jumped in and had her hands in the pumpkin scooping out the goo. Trevor was a different story. It took him several minutes to decide to put his hands in the pumpkin.
After 1/2 hour of letting the kids de-goo the pumpkins, it was finally time to cut some faces (and for Trevor to finally wash his hands). Melissa was all prepared to carve the pumpkins with a knife, when I came up with a better idea. I went back to the shed, and decided that pumpkin carving needed to involve power tools; a jigsaw would be perfect. A few minutes later we had wonderfully cut pumpkins. I think using a jigsaw on pumpkins would be the start of "YOU KNOW YOU'RE A REDNECK IF" jokes, or just a more efficient way to carve pumpkins...you decide!

Good job on the pumpkins Kayla and Trevor. Sure the de-gooing was quite an experience for Trevor.
