Pumpkin Carving

I know I'm WAY behind on this, but I'm doing the best I can with one free hand. :) The week before Halloween, we did our annual tradition of carving pumpkins and baking the seeds. The seeds turned out great this year too, and we think our pumpkin did too. We had, in total, about 6 or 7 smaller pumpkins, but we only carved the largest one due to the fact that we learned the hard way how they decay and collapse in warmer weather after being carved.

I know it's weird, and I've probably said it on previous Halloween/pumpkin posts, but I LOVE the smell of the inside of a fresh pumpkin. I think I've passed that on to Sage because she loved it too.I love cleaning the "guts" out of pumpkins too. I don't know what's wrong with me, but my daughter has apparently inherited this trait too.
Yum.

The finished product.
I do the cleaning; Daddy does the carving. We all make a good team.
