Mommy had to work late tonight so the after school duty was left in Dad's hands. He figured today was as good a day as any to get a little dirty so off we headed to the internet. That's right, the internet, but that was only to get our creative juices flowing as we prepared to carve our pumpkins for the first time. Onto the dirty part...but first we have to let you all know that Dad even remembered to have us change into old clothes (which earned him brownie points in Mom's book). Once outside we learned what carving pumpkins was really all about...we draw the faces (with help from Dad) and then we carve them (with even more help from Dad). To be honest, the slimy, cold, wet pumpkin guts didn't really suit our fancy, but Dad did a great job cleaning them out and carving them. We did a great job taking all of the credit and smiling cute for the camera because as we were finishing Mom got home. In the end we were very happy with the results, and couldn't wait to light the candles. Why we (Dad) didn't carve pumpkins before we do not know, but we'll be sure to put it on our calendars for next year!
