So welcome to a wonderful Rasmussen family tradition: PUMPKIN CARVING! Over the years we have loved being able to go to pumpkin patches and pick out our pumpkins, but being overseas has denied our ability to do so, so the BX had to suffice. Over the weeks prior, I would find fun pumpkin ideas and give them to the girls in their lunches, inspiring them to make their own fun designs for tonight. This year we invited Braysha to join our family and do something that she never had done ever!
Little A decided that her little pumpkin was a convict, and deserved incarceration within another pumpkin; CUTE IDEA RIGHT! We were so proud of her patience and trying to make all the cuts with as much of her own effort as she could.
Braysha needed some coaching on what to do, but she got the hang of it and it became all pumpkin guts and glory! We used a piece of another pumpkin to make a huge tongue coming out her pumpkin with lots of pumpkin seeds on it!
I selfishly love to do this every year, so I helped M&M make some awesome looking teeth and a wicked looking eye patch!
Heather pulled out all the stops and the literally the "brain" on her pumpkin, making it look like it had undergone a craniotomy. Well done love - excellent surgical skills!
So here's the lineup of finished masterpieces. My favorite was mine though, the one on the left. Now you may look it and it say "but its not carved?" and you wouldn't be wrong. Since I spent the entire night helping to carve eyes and teeth and tongues and cages and brains, I didn't have any time left to carve my own. So I am most proud of that one: the pumpkin that gave their all to the others!
Big Sis was the second to last pumpkin in the line up, with a pumpkin eating a pumpkin: super neat!
