pumpkin carving

halloween night we carved our pumpkin after dinner.
but earlier in the afternoon,
august began making drawings of how he wanted to carve it.

then he practiced using a dry erase marker.
we're all about being able to fix our mistakes to avoid meltdowns!

then daddy drew a face.

but then august decided on the ghost from the book.
so mama took to cleaning out the pumpkin and carving.
august got bored with me,
and travis was trying to keep tatum out from underfoot.
here is our final product:

 

and a very happy boy that his pumpkin is all carved and spooky!
