Pumpkin carvings

So this was the first time we carved pumpkins with Kierstyn.  Last year she was just to little, and we lost track of time, and never did ours.  We started the warm Sunday off by making a trip to Jonamac Orchards in Malta.  And of course since it was almost 75 degrees that day, it was busy!  We took the long walk down to the pumpkin patch to pick our own.  Kierstyn was rearing to go and run, but it was so busy, and her not being able to listen when we tell her STOP!!, she rode in her stroller.  When we got to a good area with lots of good looking pumpkins, we took her out and tried to get some pictures of her picking one out.  Yeah, didn't really work :)

In these pictures was the only time she actually stopped and tried to grab one.  But once she figured out she could take off, that was the end of picture taking there!


We were able to get one more before we left the Orchard of her and our pumpkins in front of the "how a pumpkin grows" sign.  Before we got our pumpkins, and walked past this we stopped to look at it, and she kept pointing at the pumpkin pictures and laughing. :)



So around the time we get home, Kierstyn had not taken a nap.  We figured that she would pass out on the 30 minute drive home and be okay for awhile.  Nope.  Stayed awake the WHOLE ride home, but was great!  We ate dinner really quick, and sat down to carve our pumpkins.  She was amazed by them, and kept trying to roll them towards her :)  But to our surprise, she did great!  Took about 2.5 hours to do all three pumpkins, and she sat in her chair and did not fuss at all!
The last picture here, she is trying to give a hug to her pumpkin lol!



LOL one of my favourite pictures!  Kierstyn was trying to stick her head into the pumpkin and was yelling "HI!"


And my most favourite picture of them all, Kierstyn and mommy <3

Mommy and Daddy's pumpkins all done.  We were still working on Kierstyns at this time, but for some reason didn't get a picture of them all on our camera, just our cell phones.
