We waited until about a week before Halloween to carve up this year's selections. Josie chose Elmo and Liv chose a creepy fire face thing. I really wanted to do a monster alien thing, but I was overruled...maybe next year. Kevin is always in charge of cutting open the pumpkins and scooping and cleaning out the insides. He did get some help from Liv this year. After that was done, we were ready. Liv and I taped on the templates and got busy outlining. I love the little toolkits we get, with those the pumpkins always come out looking great and take just long enough to not lose Liv's concentration. Josie wanted to help too so she just poked random holes into the Elmo pumpkin while we told her how great she was doing. We got the pumpkins carved and lit by dark. In the end, we had to throw the pumpkins away the day before Halloween because they were rotting and attracting millions of bugs. Up next, Liv does Pumpkin Math at school and Pumpkin Shine...
