Carving our Sofia the First Pumpkin

Sunday was the great carving day of 2013!  We started looking at pumpkin ideas online and in our pumpkin masters book.  I opted to see what Disney had to offer.  We found a Sofia the First stencil and Cameron decided he was up for the challenge. 

Before carving comes cleaning!


Elle was telling me "it's sticky!"


Elle wasn't so sure she wanted to get dirty.  She let Scarlett do most of the hard work.


I got her to stick her arm in by giving her the little orange pumpkin scraper that came in our carving kit.  There was no way she was ACTUALLY touching seeds and "goo" with her fingers.  Even that didn't last long.  Scarlett was on her own!

The girls were SO excited.  They were jumping all over the place.  Scarlett said she has dreamed her whole life of having a Sofia pumpkin!
