I love a good crafty project and pumpkin carving is no exception. I haven't mastered those crazy, intricate 'Martha Stewart' type designs...haven't even attempted them to be able to master them as a matter of fact...I like a good ol smiling jack-o-lantern!
Joseph didn't really remember our previous carvings so he was really into it. He was really curious about what was inside the pumpkin and stared at the inside of the top "hat" really checking it out.
We were sending Josh off after this to a wedding in Austin and he would be back Monday, just in time for some trick or treating. Joseph was a bundle of excitement getting ready for it!
This was about the point where Joseph started to lose interest in the carving process and asked me...again...for the 100th time...if we could put the candle in it yet.
Then I had an idea and decided to put the
biggest candle I had in our guy so you could REALLY see him from the street. That's when I figured out that I didn't cut the top quite large enough and it was really hard to light the candle from the inside. I tried the light it first and drop it in real gently method with no luck. But once I got it lit....
...boy was it an awesome jack-o-lantern! Hey those other melon heads look just like me and Joseph!
