Kaye went with the boys to get the pumpkins the other day. Mitchell used the patented Gregorian Drill Method.
He calls it, "Random Holes." That's because...well, never mind.
Kaye did one. Hers is kind of small. This is the part she likes the most, mucking out the internals. She says that it reminds her of what it feels like when she is ripping out the internals of a small animal that is still alive.
I don't usually let her handle knives, but tonight was an exception. She kept getting confused, though, and calling the pumpkin Greg.
And she would stab it over and over and over...It was kind of disturbing. I wonder if it means anything... I'm sure you noticed, by the way, that her little gray helper is not around. He quickly figured out that there was no meat, no cheese, and no prospects for either. He went off to take a nap.
Mitchell really got into the drilling. He was using two different sized spade bits and a small auger bit.
You really have to concentrate...
He handles the drill well, though.
Morgan opted for a large, round pumpkin.
He likes the mucking out part as much as Kaye does.
Here is Morgan cutting out his pumpkin's traditional-style face.
A lop-sided grin. The pumpkin, too.
Here is a video of Kaye carving.

Hey if you put a candle in the holey one you could hang it from the ceiling and play some disco mucic....you'd have a disco ball!!
I think they are all fabulous! Mamma and Daddy think they are cool.
Hey Greg, you haven't seen Kaye with a hockey mask or anything, have you? She'll be known as the Pretty Pugnacious Pumpkin Pummeler.
Ya'll commentary is hilarious, by the way.

A hockey mask? Is that what that is? I thought it was a collander. Hmm... You might have something there.
