Carving pumpkins was lots of fun. It always takes a few minutes for them to get daring enough to actually stick their hands in the pumpkins, but once we got going they were having a great time. It's fun to see them get more independent. Tori used a pattern and did most of her pumpkin all by herself. I thought it turned out great. James and I worked on a ghost pumpkin together - he had fun coloring it and helping me pick out seeds.
Ellie played a bit and then it was time for bed.
Above John's traditional jack-o-lantern and Ellie's little pumpkin the kids picked out for her, and John helped carve.
It wouldn't be Halloween without roasted pumpkin seeds. It's so nice to have a bunch of little hands to help sort them out.
