What is Halloween with carving pumpkins? I guess still Halloween, but not near as much fun. We put Kenzee and Bronson to work, using their youth and enthusiasm to carry the day.
When a new member of the family shows up in a Steelers shirt, and actually knows and likes the players, we know we found a keeper. All the kids had fun, but Reagan was not sure about the slimy insides and putting your hand in a pumpkin.
Sharp tools, round objects, slimy hands...a recipe for an emergency room visit, but we prevailed again this year with no lost digits and smiles all around.
The finished products. We have so many squirrels in our yard that they tear apart our pumpkins long before Halloween. Last year we put red peppers on them, but it did not work. This year we sprayed them with a clear coating, and it worked marginally better. However, out nice indian summer took its tool quickly and we limped into Halloween with partially intact pumpkins
