My friend next door had already carved a few & donated her extra one to us!!
It sat for about 2 days on our floor & it drove Brendon CRAZY! He wanted to tear in to that thing soooo bad!
I finally caved & said.. have fun, but you have to clean up the mess. I didn't know what they were going to do OR use (they couldn't use my sharp knives)!
BUT.... it didn't take them long to get creative!! They started out with sticks and just kept jabbing that thing to death. (sorry about the pics, I was taking them through the window while I was spying on them)
.
Then I suppose the large sticks weren't GOOD enough, so they moved on to the hammer!

It was hilarious to watch them so hard at work... determined to destroy that thing!
Who would have thought it was so resilient!
.
By now.. their secret was out & they were busted.. (hehe)
So I just took some pictures of them busting it out!
.
What they accomplished.... not much!!!
.
Retrieving some seeds for the heck of it.. and showing his big hole he created!
.
What Kiersten did w/ her pumpkin stuff?? made pumpkin soup... DUH!!
.
Brendon planted a seed, hoping for new pumpkins!

that is too funny!
we bought two pumpkins this year with the hope of carving them. we never got around to it, so on halloween after school, I let the kids color faces on them with marker. No mess to clean up!
you might actually get some pumpkins. And shame on you for not letting them have the true pumpkin carving experience. I let my kids use that sharp knives since I wanted my VT to think I was a calm mom and then freaked out after they left.
Kiersten looks too funny with the hammer in hand!
It's always fun to spy on kids!
you know, i was actually looking forward to seeing pictures of your pumpkins this year! seeing as how last years were so awesome! gosh! way to ruin my fun!! ;)
They didn't do too shabby!
You must have nice clean windows Diane. Nice.
