Sunday, Henry and I did some intense surgery on the weekend. We successfully conducted two pumpkin-ectomies. We went to the grocery store and let Henry pick out two pumpkins. Unfortunately one is a bit of a dud and won’t stand on its own but I won’t hold that against him…much.
Henry was into the pumpkin carving for all of 5 minutes then ditched me to play with his cars. Carving pumpkins is labour intensive. I didn’t have any proper tools so I used a steak knife. A lot of back and forth sawing gave me a good arm workout.

scooping out the guts. Henry hates getting his hands dirty with food so this was pretty much his worst nightmare.
