Carving Pumpkins

Due to the fact that Dad, and Dad alone, is in charge of carving pumpkins we got to do it today since he will not be here next weekend.  We saw no problem with this, except for the fact that it didn't get out of the forties today so it was rather chilly while carving, and we couldn't feel our hands after scooping out all of the ooey-gooey pumpkin guts.  Nothing could have stopped us though since carving pumpkins is one of the many highlights of October that we couldn't live without.  This year we strayed from traditional faces, and went with a bat and a witch.  We love how they turned out, and have them displayed proudly on the porch for all to see.  We added to the excitement this year as well, with Mom baking some of the pumpkin seeds which Lily just can't get enough of.  It is definitely shaping up to be a "spook"tacular Halloween!
