And here we go! Two lovely young ladies and a pretty nice pumpkin.
Oooh!
Digging in
Perfect size and shape for toasting.
Philip gave me the idea to let the girls use the camera. A little scary, putting a $500 Nikon D-40 in the hands of 5 and 6 year old girls ... but the battery on the point-and-shoot was drained. Here are a few of their photos, starting with the inside of the pumpkin.
That's Elizabeth, so Sarah (5) must have taken that one.
Kiki will let Elizabeth do anything to her, including take her picture.
Elizabeth caught Kiki where she's not supposed to be ... on top of the microwave.
Those tools in the carving kit are pretty cheap, if you ask me. Think I'll go for pro tools next year.
Big sister Hannah, at the computer as always.
Finally down to the bottom of the design. I'm using a kitchen knife by this time, having bent the blades on the tools.
I took this one of the final result. Whew ... two hours of carving.
Voila! The pumpkin on the left is Hannah's; dunno exactly what that character is, but it's cute!

I so find it rewarding to have the camera in the children's hands. I know that my family cringes that these children are holding a $1000 camera and taking pictures but they are often some of the most wonderful shots as they capture the beauty the children see in the world. :) I love that you shared and the link to your site is now open. :)
