Ian's First Pumpkin Carving

Wednesday, October 29 2008.

Today is the first time for Ian to design and carve his pumpkin with the help from daddy. When we went to the Ganyard Farm Hill, we are allow to take home 2 pumpkins. To make it fair so everybody can have their own (mommy, daddy, and Ian) we buy the last one from Wallmart. It is not as great as the one from the farm but good enough hehehehe ...



First we line up the pumpkin on the top of the table in our formal living room.



Then Ian start with his inspection, which pumpkin can achieve his standard ... weight, size, shape, and color. Finally we have the winner which one is for Ian ... the smallest one ..





The next step is for daddy to clean inside the pumpkin because mommy didn't like anything slimmy hehehe ... and of course Ian cannot do that.




Daddy look like an expert doing this. This is the first time for mommy and Ian carving the pumpkin. Because in Indonesia, we cook and eat the pumpkin. Vegetables is a food not decorations heheheh ...



Since Ian not allow to be close to daddy and daddy can concentrate cleaning, he entertains himself by up and down the stair .. with mommy supervision.




Finally the time to carve the pumpkin is start. First, Ian check his pumpkin.



Then daddy show him an example by doing daddy's pumpkin face first. Ian observe the process seriously.



Hmmmm.... this is what I will draw on mine daddy .... let me think about that again ... go ahead do yours first ...



Aha ... triangle eyes, triangle nose, and how about the lips?



Ooooo zigzag lips ... I approve it daddy ...



I can see the face now ... what is the next process?



Oooooo the danger part involving the tools that I cannot use .... knife ... I will just sit and supervise you daddy ..
Now, lets do mine ... with my design ... of course ...

Triangle and round eyes ... half circle nose .... I am not sure about mouth ... what do you think about that daddy? I need an expert advice.



OK how about from this side (left) to this side (right) or the pumpkin face?



Nope still, I don't like that idea daddy. Let me just do it my way... let me hold the pen by myself ... I am quite creative ... you know ... I know ...

Done daddy ... can you carve it for me, please? Because I am not allow and don't know how to use the knife. I am just lucky tonight mommy allow me to be close to the knife ... I can see she is nervous hehehe



Hurray ... my pumpkin is finish ... did you see the face?




Now is mommy turn but I want to sit on her lap and make her more nervous ... with me so close to the knife ..

Finally all pumpkin are ready to be display in front of our house...

Let me see... I think they are look great daddy....
