PUMPKIN CARVING....

This year is the first year we really carved pumpkins with the kids.  James has picked out pumpkins in the past, but this is the first time carving them.  James had fun picking out a pattern and Katie wanted every pattern in the book, but was especially excited about the "kitty cat" pattern, so that's what her pumpkin features.  Mommy even separated the pumpkin seeds and we toasted them, but I'm guessing they weren't much of a hit since they are still sitting in the bowl in the kitchen, unconsumed.  Here are progressive pictures of the carving.  Enjoy!
