Here she is the pumpkin Maddy picked on our trip to the pumpkin patch. Dad cut the top off and it was her job to get the guts out.

As soon as daddy was done, Maddy took off running down stairs. We both looked at each other like what is she doing....She came up with these...her Dora gloves! She was not about to put her bare hands in the guts...LOL

She did very well pulling out the guts.....just as long as none touched her arm or anything else.

Check it out mom....no guts on my hands...LOL

She thought she was all done and gave me the gloves, but dad had scraped some more guts up to be pulled out. I had already washed her gloves, so dad tells her that she has to do it with her bare hands. Check that sad face out!

After she said she didn't want to...dad tells her that he wont finish carving if she doesn't. It was her part to get the guts out.

I then told her that Iron Man would do it. Be brave like Iron Man.....so she dug in!!!

She soon realized that these guts were not slimy like the other ones.

Then dad carved, which I missed, while washing pumpkin seeds....Once the carving was over dad handed the sharpe over to her for some art work on the pumpkin.

She was very excited about being in control of this stinky black pen!

The finished product!!!

We put a candle in it and set him on the deck!

Once we were done we dug in for some hot pumpkin seeds....Maddy really liked them!!!
