This was gonna be a great Halloween

It looks like a dork.  Look at it.  It seems to be saying "I'm a huge huge dork!".  I suck at carving pumpkins  :(

Ok, you sucked at carving a pumpkin this year. :P You have plenty of years ahead to improve on your skills. ;)

However, since I too suck at this endeavour, I have learned that teh besto Jack'o' Lanterns are the ones that the kids make themselves. They always like the "I did it myself." ones best. :) Here are the results of today's carving project, not done by me, but by the sons.

First, the 20 year old and the 9 year old's efforts:




And here is the one by the 11 year old: :o

On a more happier note, the seeds that we salvaged from the pumpkin were plentiful and made for GREAT roasting seeds.  They taste great.

I was disappointed that three large pumpkins yielded so few seeds. My job, while they carve, is to clean the seeds and get them ready for roasting. The yield was small, but the results are sooo good. B)

BTW, have you seen the 'Ghost' pumpkins? They arrive white already ! :blink:
