How I did it:
Fun tradition I did with my family every year when I was a kid and now that we have a baby we wanted to try to make a new family tradition.
We picked pumpkins at the farm the other day with the intention of carving them. We bought pumpkin carvers from CVS 3 years ago. They went unused until NOW!
First we cut the pumpkins open and showed our 11 month old all the goop inside. We let him touch the inside and he hated the texture. He became bored and cranky fairly shortly thereafter so we took a time out until bedtime.
My husband I I have a blast! How fun! We hid the faces from each other and just got to work. It was almost a meditative experience once we got into the design... just lost in our work and creativity.
We both got candles ready lit them, shut off the lights and revealed them to each other! So cool. We put them in the front window and went outside to see what they look like to the neighbors.... oooooooooooooo scarrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!! : )
We had so much fun we might go get another 2 pumpkins tomorrow to do it again!
Hubby is drying out the seeds to roast them tomorrow!
