Carving a Jack O Lantern

We had a very productive Saturday cleaning out the garage. Greg found a box with old cell phones in it and Madison claimed one. She has not been without it since. Even while carving the pumpkin, she was talking to "someone".

Papa got the honors of using the knife. He made a comment to Madison at this point that he was going to get a blindfold for her to cover her eyes with and then let her stick her hand inside the pumpkin. I have no idea what part of this idea she didn't like, but she was NOT happy about it at all......
A girl has got to be dressed properly when assisting to carve the pumpkin....
Madison got over being upset and helped Papa clean out the inside of the pumpkin.
"Let me take his lid off"......
The finished product.....Madison thought their smiles were alike.....
The poor kitty cat, she has to endure so much.....
After the carving, it was time for a bath. Then it was time for an impromptu dance recital.

I could hardly take pictures for laughing.
"Taa-daa"
