Tucker knew it was time. I'd brought in the pumpkin the night before so it could warm up. He started rubbing his chin on it periodically. As soon as I set up the area, he was there.

| All right! Let's carve this thing. Don't worry, mom, I'll be careful of the knife. |
He was started licking the stem as soon as I'd cut it open. I did let him have a few bites of pumpkin guts, which he just loves.

| Score! Pumpkin guts! |
You might remember that I carve a cat-themed pumpkin each year. Here is this year's pumpkin before it was lit up.
And outdoors:
See some pumpkins from other years:
And don't forget to watch Sadie sneaking some pumpkin seeds!
That pumpkin is amazing! Did you use a template and draw it on, or just draw the outline free hand? Can't believe how creative and talented you are. With Tucker's help, of course. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used a template I found online, and used a tool to punch the design on the pumpkin before cutting it out. If anyone knows of any cat-themed designs, I'd love to have a link. I'm running out of new ones. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this years masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteExcellent assistance by Tucker! Though, I'm not sure pumpkin guts sounds like that good of a treat/payment.
ReplyDeleteTerrific Tucker! Yay for pumpkin guts! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe finished pumpkin looks fab! Take care
