Pumpkin Carving FUN!!!

Poor pumpkin...you have no idea what is in store for you!!! Thanks, Chante' for bringing us this pumpkin!


Here are some snapshots of the kids' first reactions to the "guts" of the pumpkin. Everyone stuck their hand inside the pumpkin to help clean it out!













How funny are these pictures of Sarah and the pumpkin?!?!? Sarah was the only student who REALLY did not like the guts of the pumpkin...most LOVED them. These pictures were taken in a short span of a few seconds...she could not wait to get the gunk off of her hands...Sarah's expressions are priceless!

And...now we begin the carving of our jack-o-lantern's face! The class lined up and carefully assisted me as we made small cuts to the pumpkin!





"Be extra careful with that knife!!!" HA! Some kids wanted to really dig in with the carving knife...you notice my hands are never very far away!!


After everyone had a chance to cut a little, I finished carving the pumpkin! The kids were super excited as the pieces fell out

Our jack-o-lantern glowing with the lights off!! We were so proud!


The finished product!!! Not too bad for 15 5 & 6 year-olds!!!
