Carving the Pumpkin

Time to carve the jack-o-lantern!  The girls were really excited for this annual tradition.  It is so neat that they are finally at an age where they can remember our holiday traditions and look forward to certain things.  I was surprised this year, because Hannah actually got her hands dirty!  Last year, she wore gloves so she wouldn't get the pumpkin goop on her hands.  She was all about it this time!

Here is Daddy preparing to cut the top off, while the girls watching intently....

I'm ready for pumpkin dissection!

I'm soooo excited, Dad!!

It's the goopey-goop!!

Action shots...

They worked hard to clean out the goop and then Hannah carved most of the pumpkin herself.  I gave Sadie a chance, but given the latest incident with scissors (see new hair do'), she stressed me out with the carving utensil. 

The finished product...all lit up :)
