Jack Lantern

 We've had a big pumpkin sitting on the counter for a little while now, and finally it was time to carve it!  H was so excited about the "Jack Lantern"  and kept asking when Daddy would be home.  Such excitement!  We got the tools out and our jackets on and got ready!  (It's turned very cold all of the sudden!)  H kept giggling!  He couldn't contain his excitement!


 C was interested,  but a little wary of all of the strings!  He gets nervous with spiders, frogs, and the "ooey gooey punkin" (as H calls it). 


 H helped some (albeit ineffectively).


 We made this last week, H calls it "toe ghosties."


 The finished product!  I thought they were a bit adventurous.  I kept trying to tell them to just stick to a typical jack-o-lantern face, but they proved me wrong!  H was so proud!


Right before bedtime, we lit a candle, put our pajamas on and turned out all of the lights to watch it glow!  

This morning H told me he wanted to make a pumpkin with a skeleton on it!  
Next year...
