Carving Pumpkins

This has to be one of my least favorite parts of Halloween. I would be completely happy just having a few nice pumpkins sitting on the front porch, sans the carved faces. I hate the way pumpkin goop feels and the way it dries on my skin and makes me itch. However, because I love my children, I will indulge them in this yearly tradition because it makes them happy.

Clearly, this is NOT my child, as I hate the feel of pumpkin guts!

Jacob thought it was fun to wear it on his hand as a giant fist
