Pumpkin Carving!

Our Halloween tradition is to wait until Halloween morning to carve our pumpkin. It just feels more festive that way. So, we all got up & into our orange clothes for some pumpkin carving.

This year, Josiah was ready to give instructions on what he wanted his pumpkin to look like. He wanted 2 circles for the eyes, a triangle nose pointing down & a mouth with 3 teeth inside. How's that for details!?!?

This is Josiah giving me instructions while I draw.

I just finished drawing the face & we thought we'd give you our Halloween faces. Enjoy!

Dustin then cut open the top of the pumpkin so he could start carving. Ooh!

Josiah bravely ventured inside the pumpkin to start pulling the seeds out. Well, he wasn't brave at first, but with some pushing, he agreed.

Once he got inside it, he went right to work. We sorted the goo & the seeds into separate bowls.

Dustin & Josiah carving into that bad boy!

Here is Josiah pulling the mouth out. He had already pulled the eyes & nose out.

Dustin & Josiah then needed to show their Halloween faces with the finished jack-o-lantern.

OH NO! Where did Josiah's head go. He's now a Jack-O-Jo!

Here's the finished jack-o-lantern!

BOO!

Our front porch is ready for trick-or-treaters!

We always have a great time pumpkin carving!
