Nothing like that time honored tradition of turning your kids loose in the backyard with sharp objects and garden vegetables...
Or are pumpkins technically fruit?
I forget.
The kids finally had their way with the orange squash. They had been begging me for two weeks to carve up these beauties and seemed genuinely shocked that pumpkins which have been gutted tend to have a shorter shelf life.
They were likewise amazed that I would be so cruel as to allow the pumpkins to exist outside in the rain.
Since pumpkins are only used to climate controlled indoor environments.
Like the grocery store.
Their pumpkins are still a work in progress. I'm hoping these Pumpkin Picassos and Maiming Monets will finish their masterpieces today so I can show off their handiwork.
And for next month...
We tackle ice carving.
Nothing will keep a kid's attention like a chainsaw....

Sounds like a lot of fun...and it has reminded me to let my own Pumpkin Picasso loose on his own gourd creation.

Fun post! You got a few really good pictures. I always take ours indoor and I just have in no way mastered indoor light. I hope you take some pictures when they are all glowing and lit up too!
Great pics! We just did this tonight but, sadly, it's too cold around here to do it outside (which would be nicer.) Great memories, huh?
