How to carve a pumpkin...

First... you ship 3 little pumpkins all the way from Papa's garden in NB or send them up with Grammy :)

Next, you have to scoop out all the guts... not a favourite part.

Then, you examine the drawing you had sketched (or your big sister had sketched based on your specifications) and draw the sketches onto the cleaned-out pumpkin.

Daddy then takes the pumpkin carving tools and carves the sketched-on faces.

Mummy takes pictures and occasionally steps in to help with separating out seeds from guts or to wipe off permanent market with rubbing alcohol :)

3 little pumpkins, sat on our deck...

...then lined our walkway for our handful of trick-or-treaters!
