Pumpkin Carving 2015 (Siobhan)

~Pumpkin Carving~

This year we had a lot of pumpkins, so we decided to do a bunch of different carvings on them. 

Pumpkin Painting

 Little Lux and Filia couldn't do a whole lot of carving, so they drew on their pumpkins with paint markers. 

Pumpkin Drilling

Leo and I decided to drill designs on our big white pumpkin.
 We cut off the top, and the kids helped us hollow out the pumpkin.
 Next, we used a medium size drill bit to drill holes in a ring around the top of the pumpkin.
Tip: Make a stencil for the holes on the side and the flowers.
We made big and small holes in rows down the side of the pumpkin. 
Our big holes used a HUGE drill bit! For the flowers, we made small holes around one medium hole.

 Pumpkin Faces

Aidan, Connor, and Shaila all drew designs for faces. Dad helped them carve their pumpkins.
Aidan's Pumpkin
Rus and Dad cut out one triangle eye, one circular eye, and a smile with triangle teeth.
Connor's Pumpkin
Tert and Dad cut out two triangle eyes and a smile with square teeth. Then they drilled two nostrils in with a very small drill bit.
 Shaila's Pumpkin
Filia and Dad cut out two crescent eyes, a triangle nose, and a smile with one square tooth.
