Cleaning out our pumpkins


James' pumpkin is on the left and mine is on the right
He carved wolves howling at the moon and I carved the traditional skull and crossbones



Last nite my Mom came over for dinner and alittle pumpkin carving. We had so much fun! She came bearing gifts of course. Lots of halloween candy and pumpkin carving tools and stensils. One thing about my Mom is that she's always prepared. The three of us had a great time picking an choosing which design to carve, cleaning the "guts" out of the pumpkins, prepping and baking the pumpkin seeds (delicious), carving and finally admiring our finished work. The nite was a huge success and we have two impressive jack-o-laterns to prove it! No matter how old you may be pumpkin carving is just as much fun as it was back then.... = )
