I have decided that carving the pumpkin isn't my favorite Halloween activity. I enjoy having a nicely carved pumpkin, and I love the excitement it creates for Jocelyn, but I hate finding the perfect face. Every year I search high and low on the Internet to find a face that suits the pumpkin we chose, and every year I never find it. After searching for hours (well, maybe it just SEEMS like hours) I usually end up sitting and staring at the pumpkin and eventually the right face comes to me. I draw it on with a dry erase marker and then cut it out. I really wish Todd were more artistic and would be in charge of this activity!
Before carving our first pumpkin we sat Reagan on top so you had an accurate representation of how big the pumpkin was. This is the last year we buy a big pumpkin. From now on we will buy a nice, smaller-sized pumpkin.
Todd is in charge if the guts!
"Wow"
Jocelyn is in charge of the seeds.
Since we usually carve two pumpkins, and since Jocelyn started having a favorite character, I will carve her favorite "friend" on the other.
Here they are, all lit up.
Aw, we did a Dora pumpkin, too! I can't believe how big your girls are getting! They're beautiful!
