pumpkin plans executed... ghoulish fun!


We carved our pumpkins on Monday night.  Alli sketched her pumpkin face on paper, then drew it on her pumpkin... exactly as it was on the paper.  Andy helped Alli carve the features into the pumpkin (I know this picture is giving the wrong impression, but Andy was right there... really).  It wasn't exactly like her original plan, so we had to try again on the back side of her pumpkin.  Luckily we got it right on the back side.  I love how focused Alli was on her project.
Ruby wasn't quite as picky... or focused.  She requested a sad pumpkin.  She was pleased with her Jack-o-lantern.

We baked pumpkin pulp so we could make healthy pumpkin bread... delicious and pretty healthy.  We rinsed the pumpkin seeds and tossed them with a little butter and salt and roasted them to perfection.  Yum.  We got our $2 out of each pumpkin!
