Halloween 2

How do you carve pumpkins with two three year olds without getting slimy or making a mess in your house? You go to Trader Joes and get a FREE pre gutted pumpkin and give the kids dull carving knives. 


I did most of it, but Rachel carved this one spot for about 5 minutes.  She would NOT  let me take the knife from her





The one and only time she has gotten her face painted, and the guy had to have a skeleton mask on. Great.

No wonder she didn't want her face painted at the bake sale! And how awesome that Trader Joe's has pre-gutted pumpkins. Remember that one time Royce and I carved pumpkins at your house, and how we gave up long before Ryan. We don't really like carving pumpkins it turns out, but maybe if I didn't have to gut them . . . nah, I still probably wouldn't like it.

Pre-gutted pumpkins... genius! Except that I love the seeds. The seeds are the only reason I carve pumpkins!

I am down with the pre-gutted pumpkin, but what poor kid had to spend hours with a knife and an ice-cream scooper doing that. I will have to remember that one for submitting to Dirty Jobs or something like that.
