One week before Halloween, we carved our pumpkins. It is still so hot here that we were afraid they would rot if we carved them too soon. Unfortunately, they were looking a little rough after about 3 days. Our neighbors carved theirs at the same time so it was kind of like a little party!
Miah's expression says it all. They loved getting their hands messy.
Ian wanted a scary jack-o-lantern and Miah wanted a happy one. They picked the shapes for their eyes, noses, and mouths and Mom helped with the carving...
It was so fun!
I know you can buy the electrified jack-o-lanterns at most stores now, but I have to say the mess, smells, and the thrill of lighting a candle inside brought me back to my childhood for a bit.
Happy Halloween!

Your pumpkins looked very cute. Too bad they rot so fast here in AZ, huh! Ours was getting pretty nasty by Halloween too.
