Playing with "Guts"

This week we carved our pumpkins for Halloween. Garrett wanted his to look like Batman, and his pumpkin is my interpretation of what I thought he meant. He only kind of agreed that the finished product would probably be what Batman would look like when he looked at the bad guys.

Tripp’s pumpkin was goofy, so Garrett and I agreed that Tripp’s should have a goofy face.

Garrett had never been into getting dirty. Every year we carve a pumpkin, and he just turns up his nose and lets me do all the dirty work. This year he just dove right in, and loved taking out all the “pumpkin guts.” Tripp, who usually is no stranger to dirt, surprised me by not wanting to touch it at all. He preferred to just take off the paper faces that we made to trace on to the pumpkin.

Tripp:  What are you doing!?

He kept saying yucky

Done!

I love that the boys don't look real, these are my cardboard cut out children that I use for photos!
