Pumpkin Carving

This is the first Fall we have spent in the USA since having kids...ok since moving to the Middle East in  summer 2010.  Also, in the Middle East a single carving pumpkin cost about $50-$80 so needless to say we have never carved pumpkins with the kids.  I have fond memories of this as a kid so I was excited to introduce Jacob and Hailey to it.  Of course the best part is cleaning out all gooey insides. Jacob didn't know what to think at first but he got into it and became a good helper.  Hailey only started helping when we threatened Jacob taking her stuff. So much fun and so cute to watch a new tradition started!
