pumpkin carving

the night before halloween

 i asked emi if she was interested in carving a pumpkin.

when i helped during the week at school

we talked about pumpkin and if there was anything inside.

how they grow and if you can eat them.

emi guessed they were empty. so that was my reasoning for carving.

she was totally into it.

this was her first time putting her hand in.

i was a little surprised she wasn't grossed out.

and then she realized it was a little gross feeling.

she couldn't believe someone would want to eat the seeds.

i wasn't cleaning out the pumpkin fast enough so eddie

the one that said he would not be helping, less than 20 minutes earlier.

stepped in and helped clean out the pumpkin guts.

then it was time to draw on a design.

she insisted on heart eyes.

she has even already started drawing a heart for her i, in her name.

emi was super pleased with how the pumpkin turned out.

eddie wasn't an expert at carving hearts.

it was funny when he showed her the first one and she was like, 

that looks nothing like a heart! that's when i took over again.

 

love this picture of her.

i am glad we carved a pumpkin.

it was some fun one on one time with her. i think she really enjoyed it.

 

not sure what was so funny but something was.
