Hi fellow Weekenders,
The other day Siena had a great idea to do something different: carve a pumpkin for a smoke bomb!
Pumpkin Carving
If there's one thing that the little man loves to do is it's destroy things. I guess it's a boy thing, but in particular his kind of boy thing lol. We have some family members who say they used to do the same thing and we have others who said they didn't do that. He definitely gets it from the ones who liked doing it!
I started the pumpkin carving with the little man with what I thought was a cool look. He was obviously having fun with the pumpkin guts in the background there lol.
He was eventually interested in helping out! I think it was more because he was looking for something to add to his pile of stuff he was playing with lol.
He was having a lot of fun doing it but was surprised that the texture of the stuff was kind of gross feeling! It was funny to see for sure, he wasn't expecting it lol.
One of the things I love is getting everything out of the pumpkin that we can! We definitely took advantage of the opportunity to get some delicious pumpkin seeds from it. One thing that is awesome is being able to roast them with some seasonings for future use later in the year! We are trying to preserve as many things as we can, for a few reasons but one of them being that it's seemingly going to be a difficult winter for getting some products.
The really awesome thing was turning that pumpkin carving adventure into what we were planning on doing with it: using it with a really cool smoke bomb!
One of the things we are going to do is make sure the next pumpkin we carve will be one that's a bit smaller. It looks pretty awesome but it seems like it was a bit bigger than we thought so the smoke wasn't coming out of much of the pumpkin besides the eyes lol.
This one ended up coming out better! The smoke balls looked like they weren't going to give us a lot but they were pretty good themselves so we were able to snag some really interesting looking pictures. Thankfully the smoke wasn't as intense as we thought, we weren't sure if we were going to have the fire department called on us lol.
