Pretty happy that Jason made it home in time for us to get a pumpkin carved a few evenings before Halloween. He's been working hard, and with the longer commute it can be tough to make it home. But he did it and we were pretty happy to have him there.
This year we got a pumpkin carving kit which was brilliant because those little saws are perfect (and quick) for cutting out the pumpkin face/drawing. And they were really easy to use with the kids. I love doing this tradition each year. The kids love getting right in there to get their hands dirty and we all love getting to snack on the roasted pumpkin seeds afterward. It's a win all around.
I love this picture. Don't let Atticus' expression fool you. He tried licking it next!
After the kids scooped out the pumpkin insides, Jason drew on our stencil and got to do a little bit before the kids and I took over.
It was serious business. I tell you.
We were all pretty excited about the finished result.
I'm pretty impressed with those kids' focus to work to the end on this one! They are already talking about their pumpkin for next year!
