Carving Pumpkins

We finally managed to find a free night to carve our pumpkins! The kids were very excited and couldn't wait to squish all the goo between their fingers. Pumpkin carving at our house goes a little something like this:
1. Make sure to cover the table to limit the mess as much as possible
2. Turn on the Halloween music
3. Mom and Dad cut the lid of the pumpkin
4. Brianna and Bricen clean the pumpkins out (with a little help)
5. Kids seperate the seeds out so mom can try to bake them (In all 7 years of trying, still haven't gotten this right!)
6. Mom draws the faces on - with pre approval of course!
7. Mom gets the hot cocoa ready
8. Dad helps cut the faces out
9. Mom cleans the lines and kids drink delicious warm cocoa
10. Finished product!
