Pumpkin Carving Time

Last night we all sat down after dinner and carved Carolyn's first and Annette's third Jack-O-Lantern. Annette really got into it and Carolyn enjoyed watching. Annette was very excited and helped decide what we were going to carve on it (She went with a happy face) but then was not too sure what to do once we got her hands in the guts. She was a trooper though and quickly got into the zone and just kept grabbing more and pulling it out. She started enjoying it and counting the seeds she pulled out. She would even show Carolyn what she had, but Carolyn was more interested in trying to eat the newspaper whe had spread on the floor to control the mess. The best part though was when Annette started to play with the pumpkin guts, squishing them and slapping them in her hands. After we finished carving we took the pumpkin outside and lit it up. Both girls liked it but Annette was simply awed by it. I think she is really going to like Halloween this year.
