Pumpkin Carving
The pumpkin carving began with drawing on faces.


Then the crazies came out! :D


I helped Alex get the top of her first pumpkin.

The inside was, yes, that's right...messy! :D

Sam started in on the top of her first pumkin.

We were shocked at how many seeds were in these little guys!
They scooped them out and then I cleaned them to put in the oven.

Ok...scooped, played with...same thing. :D


I rinsed the seeds.

Amazingly...we got two pans of seeds our of those four little pumpkins! :O
I kept checking on them...didn't want them to burn.
Sam was the first to give them a try. We all love pumpkin seeds!

I turned around to find Alex still carving...she ended up making one of her pumpkins have a huge bat! "Put the knife down Alex, or there will be no pumpkin left to put a candle in!" :D LOL
I stood out of the room so we could see them lit up.
Now for the close ups! :) Alex with hers.

Sam with hers!
This was a lot of fun! :)
