Carving Pumpkins

Tonight was Elayna's first night carving pumpkins. The veteran Hannah kept giving her positive feedback, and how to's! It was very cute and fun! When Hannah first carved pumpkins, she was hesitant to reach into the pumpkin guts, and didn't really enjoy touching them. However, she eventually did and actually started tasting the pumpkin. Elayna on the other hand wasn't just hesitant, she flat out refused to put her hand in the pumpkin. As we tried to reach her hand in it, she almost started screaming. She did eventually touch ONE seed and the lid. She was more content to lie under the table and play with the pumpkin sticker rather than anything that was ooey and gooey! Once finished, we sat the girls in the living room and took many pictures! They were loving the photo shoot. However, all good things must come to an end and at an hour past bedtime, we took the pumpkins and put them on the table. Hannah, understood and started getting ready for bed, but Elayna was enjoying the CLEAN pumpkin way too much. She threw a tantrum and screamed and yelled for the pumpkin! Of course, I thought it was cute and took a picture of it. With little effort we were able to calm her down and both kids crashed in less than 15 minutes. All-in-all it was a great night. Can't wait to show everyone our costumes tomorrow!!!
