Pumpkin Carving '09 Edition

Last weekend was so busy that we missed getting to carve pumpkins while Jonathan was here. I had to do the pumpkin night with just Jansen because even Richard had some function for work that night. I had waited until Thursday, but we were running short of time by then so we had to go ahead with it or miss out! Here's a photo "journal" of our evening of carving!
Jansen put the first spoon in the little pumpkin (you can just make out the handle sticking in there) after he saw me start on the big one, but got it stuck in the guts and couldn't pull it out so he grabbed the other spoon to dive into the big pumpkin!

So, Guts are gross apparently and he decided to put the lid back on so he didn't have to scoop them I guess... spoon was still stuck in there and poking up a bit though so it didn't work to well to put the top on it!
Somehow he had smuggled his frog squirter bath toy to the carving table and it ended up with the same fate as the spoon in that little pumpkin. I was beginning to think that we had a carnivorous pumpkin that ate whatever entered it or something!
This is as far as I got help. The rest I had to finish solo. Daddy had gotten home just in time to intercept tired tantrums that were starting so it was "Hi Daddy," Bath, and Bed for him!
Finished pumpkins!

Ooooo.... Spooky!

It sounded like Jansen was calling the little pumpkin, Jim. I don't know where or when he would have picked up "Jim" but it really sounded like that's what he was calling it. So, we have a no-name pumpkin and Pumpkin Jim. Cousin Harper has her Pumpkin Steve and we'll just have to go with Pumpkin Jim, I guess!
