We got the chance to carve our pumpkin this weekend. It was a wonderful day outside, so we decided to carve outside (plus the mess stays OUTSIDE!). After John opened the sucker up, AJ and I stuck our hands in to get all of the gunk out. I must admit, it's my favorite part. I love cleaning, so I take it on as a challenge! AJ, on the other hand, took a bit to warm up to it. Right after this shot, he came out and said, MOMMY, I NEED TO WASH MY HANDS! I love that my little boy prefers to stay clean!
AJ waiting patiently after cleaning out our pumpkin:
It works out perfectly--I like cleaning the pumplin out and John likes actually carving it. This year it only cost us the pumpkin--because we had a battery operated carver from years past. We got our template for free online. I traced it and we were good to go! Here is John carving and AJ patiently watching:
I actually don't have a final picture yet of our pumpkin (why I didn't take a picture is beyond me!), but here is a good carving close up:
Three generations of Redskins fans watching the game together. Note: yes, that is a redskins couch in our basement. It's also a pile of blankets and pillows next to it (excuse the mess!).

We do not have a "real" pumpkin! They will over shadow the glitter pumpkins! Ha! Way to get down and dirty to clean and carve a pumpkin!
