| Instead of just cutting a hole at the top of the pumpkin this year, we decided to try going in from different directions - we did one from the bottom, one from the side, and one with almost half the top taken off... |
 |
| These were all from our own garden, too. We grew "pie pumpkins" instead of the "jack-o-lantern" variety & we thought it was a lot easier to cut, scoop, and clean them this time. |
 |
| I saved a set of seeds to plant next year - and a much larger clump to dry and roast for snacking this Fall! |
 | |
| Yesterday we carved some of the pumpkins Wynn grew this summer into spooky jack-o-lanterns! Orange lights on our front porch and the full moon rising up over the house make for a haunting scene! |
 |
| The pumpkin on the right got chewed up somewhat by squirrels, so we incorporated the "scars" into its face for extra scariness! |
