Jack-O-Lanterns

Sunday evening the kids (Mike & I) carved pumpkins. They had a lot of fun and I was once again reminded that carving pumpkins is my least favorite holiday tradition out of ALL holiday traditions!! LOL! Not sure why, but I just don't dig carving pumpkins.....but that's okay! :) Porter insisted that he have a spider on his pumpkin, which he and Mike worked on. Stella wanted a scary pumpkin and designed her own face again this year. She thought the zig-zag mouth was extra spooky!!!
Mike and P hard at work.
Stella enjoyed taking out the guts!
We took the pumpkins up to Stella's room afterwards so they could see them in the dark. Here they are with their finished pumpkins. Oh and the lines on the top of Stella's pumpkin are the pumpkins' forehead! She insisted the pumpkin needed a forehead--hey, it's her design! :)
Spoooookkkyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

I think that Stella's pumpkin needs a big dose of Bowtox!!!! They are very cute! Know they had fun with them. I agree, I always thought cleaning them out was gross! Did you save the seeds to roast?

I never get excited about carving them either...which is probably why our 2 are still sitting untouched on our steps! Yours look great, like them in the dark :)
