Pumpkin Carving...

Here are our pumpkin carving pictures. The warm Portland weather has made them quite icky already. Luckily this year I took them out to the porch the same night we carved them. Jordan said he found a slug in his tonight. Eww!!
These pictures will remind us of great memories from this weekend.
Jordan carved his all by himself this year. He did talk Jarod into grabbing out his really gooey pumpkin guts. LOL
Meghan even gutted her pumpkin this year too. I enjoyed watching the kids work on their own creations. They have grown up so much this past year!
Jarod really enjoys the feeling of the guts. He talked and talked about how many seeds we had to roast. I always roast seeds. We spread them on a cookie sheet (or two) and sprinkle them with "Red Robin seasoning" and salt. They get a spray of cooking oil and head into the oven. Hours later, after the kids have stopped asking when they will be done... they exit the oven. YUM!!!
Good times! I tell ya! We ended up with a spider, a cat & pumpkin in a window, and hands creeping from below a RIP tombstone. Oh and the mini pumpkin is the one we grew in our garden this year. It was too cute not to become a jack-o-lantern. :) Happy Halloween to all!!
