Pumpkin Carving 101

T'was the night before Halloween and all through the house, not a creature was stiring, not even a mouse...oh wait...Lincoln was yelling to carve his pumpkin! That's what all the noise was about! So, we sat down and devised a plan. Here we are in deep discussion trying to decide if the pumpkin should have round eyes or square. It was a tough call!

Ewww...that's dis-kus-ting! He was not too sure about the pumpkin guts!

I offered for him to clean out the pumpkin, but he kept his hands far away.

Then I showed him how to get the seeds out using a spoon...he was starting to warm up to the idea! He never really put his hands into the pumpkin, but he did "pet" the seeds as I pulled them out!

Then he helped dad cut out the face. He was a lot of help huh dad?

Here he is! All done! Lincoln named him Steve.

I love my pumpkin! Can he sleep under the covers with me? Not tonight buddy, not tonight!

Happy Halloween! Love Trish, Brian and Lincoln
