Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins the other night with the girls.  This is the first time we have ever carved them.  I am so embarressed to even admit that!  Normally we would go trick or treating with friends so we always just kept our uncarved pumpkins our for decoration.  This year Jim picked up two extras to carve and the girls had a blast!  This will be an annual activity from this point onward.

Sawyer was a bit wigged out by the pumpkin guts and got really irritated when I made her stick her hand into the pumpkin to test it out.  Finally I convinced her to put her hand in the bowl of guts and just get used to it.  She did but then wanted to wash her hands pretty quickly.  Sydney of course was pulling the guts out with determination.  I was washing seeds and getting ready to roast them while Jim helped the girls design their pumpkin faces.
