Carving Pumpkins

The day before Halloween we decided to carve our pumpkins. We had never done this with Lucas before, so it was a great start to our family tradition.
Lucas loved watching mommy and daddy scoop out the guts and carve the pumpkins. He was so funny. When Ron was poking his pumpkin pattern, Lucas kept saying, "Say owie pumpkin." He was convinced that Ron was hurting the pumpkin. Ron's pumpkin didn't turn out, so he threw it away. We ended up with the two that I had carved. Lucas was so happy that the pumpkins had turned into jack-o-lanterns and his was a smiley pumpkin.

We ended the evening with roasting some yummy pumpkin seeds. What a fun evening! (Especially since it was something I could be involved in, even being on bed rest!)
