Friday I spent cleaning...not really fun..But my house is all ready for Halloween. Kaden and I ended the day carving pumpkins! Now THAT was fun. I am not a pumpkin carver...not at all. However I discovered the joy of the little pumpkin carving knife this year. I will be using THAT again! Good think I waited to wash the floor and vacuum until AFTER this even. K had pumpkin seeds from one side of the house to the other..He was NOT thrilled with my carving techniques either..."Mom...that doesn't really look like the face I wanted." Yea...well...lol...it's KINDA close, lol!!!
I tried something different this year. I read about cutting the bottom out of your pumpkin instead of the top. I tried it..I hate how the tops always shrivel up and fall into the pumpkins. Also...this way I can just turn them around and let them finish out fall after Halloween. I took jars and tipped them upside down, then put a flicker light on top and just set the pumpkins on them. So far it's working just swimmingly!
I bet Kaden had a blast! That is a good idea to cut a hole in the bottom. I'll have to try and remember that!
