I am always amazed at how long it takes to carve pumpkins. Surprisingly the time does not come from the actual carving part - rather the cleaning and decision making. I was hoping that this year Garrett would be more involved in the removal of the "guts" but I was wrong. He put his hands in a few times, then decided he would rather play monster trucks and tell me how to do it. I didn't get much help from the big boy either. But the pumpkins are carved with happy faces as requested. In all fairness I should report that the girl wasn't much help either. Now.. I need to get to work on those pumpkin seeds.
