The Jack-o-Lanterns

This year, Katie made two jack-o-lanterns. The first one was done completely on her own. She asked for a small, white pumpkin at the grocery store, and she just used a Sharpie to draw faces around the pumpkin. She was able to fit four faces - one on each side of the pumpkin.

For the second jack-o-lantern, Katie wanted to carve one of the pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. She chose to have an owl pattern on it.

This was my Jack-o-lantern that I made all by myself. I loved it!

 Here was the pumpkin I chose to carve.

I wanted to help with the carving. 

It was a little harder than I anticipated. 

I got the top off and saw lots of seeds and pulp inside! 

I had to scoop and scoop. 

This was also harder than I thought. 

I thought it would come out easier, but I had to scrape the sides a lot. 

After we traced our stencil on the pumpkin, we started to carve it out. 

After a lot of work, we were done. 

I thought it looked good at night!
