Pumpkin Carving

Since we moved into our house, we have started the annual tradition of pumpkin carving. We waited a little later than usual this year, so the Wednesday before Halloween we loaded up and head over to Publix to pick out our pumpkins....who needs a pumpkin patch when you have Publix just right up the road?

Yummy! Pumpkin insides...

Tyler and I have very different ways of cleaning out the pumpkins. I was taught you reach in with your hands a scrape. Tyler, on the other hand, uses a large spoon so he doesn't get his hand dirty while I'm over there with pumpkin guts up to my elbows....Our children will learn to do it my way, it's just more fun to get a little dirty.

And the clean up begins. However, it was another fun successful year of pumpkin carving with the Hensons.
