We started with 3 pumpkins.
Each boy chose a design from one of our template books.
We scooped out the gunk.
We saved the seeds for roasting. 3 batches this year: salt only, spicy, and sweet.
The boys each carved their own design. This was the first year everyone was able to carve relatively unassisted, which left me pumpkin-less. I didn’t expect to miss carving, but I did. So next year we’ll have to pick 4 or 5, so I can carve one, too.
They did a fantastic job!
The jack-o-lanterns looked quite scary in the dark (the skull and ghost did, anyway.)
But they weren’t the scariest things around here…
We had a ghost,
a mad scientist,
and a very pretty princess!
What a crew!
They all look great (the pumpkins and the kids!)
Great looking pumpkins! I also love your black fingernails. Very festive!
Heh! Very fun. Can you believe this was my first year of carving a pumpkin myself, ever, in my life? It's addicting. So yes, please get yourself a pumpkin next year.
Your boys look great!
Excellent pumpkins! Much more creative than we got this year… I just was not feeling like putting in the effort. Well done!
The pumpkins look awesome!
And your boys are so cool!
LOL at your pretty princess!
Halloween fun! I love that their costumes are homemade too.
