Well, we've got the pumpkins, now it's time to carve them up! When we got back from Gene's we unloaded the car and soon got to work making our jack-o-lanterns. Usually, the cutting and cleaning out of the pumpkin falls on me. Ledge doesn't like getting all icky from the pumpkin guts, but this time he was a little more willing to give it a go. He's getting big enough to carve them himself, so he took the knife and dug right in! Granted, after the first one he had enough, so I was in charge of cleaning out the second one. After they were emptied, Ledger grabbed a marker and got to work making a couple of great faces. He's always been quite skilled in making expressive faces, so that part is right up his alley!
He drew them on and carved the faces out. I did a little clean up on some of the lines so the light would shine through just right, and then we put the light in them and brought them out to the front porch to admire our work. They look great!
Now we are all set for Halloween!
