Fall Festival/Pumpkin Carving

We have had a very busy but fun week.  We had our church's fall festival on Wednesday evening and Ashlyn had a really good time.  Then on Thursday night she helped carve her first pumpkin.  She did better than I thought she would.  She even got her hands messy and helped clean it out!  What a fun fall this has been so far.

Our little "Jessie" (Thanks Grandma Shaffer for making the costume)

She couldn't get enough of these pumpkins.  It had a cat that popped up and down which she loved

Watching closely

Is this how you do it?

Gooey!

I know it's in there

The finished project

Look at how it glows

(and no worries, that is not a candle, it's a pumpkin light)
