Pumpkin carving is one of my favorite Halloween traditions. This year was especially fun for four reasons.
First of all, I found this awesome trick to carving a pumpkin on Pinterest.
Now, no one will burn their hands lighting the jack o lantern this year.
Secondly, the kids were actually more help than they had been in years past. They had so much fun scooping.
Next, it was my favorite part. After all that scooping, it was time for break… a Kit Kat break to be exact.
Lastly, this year I roasted pumpkin seeds. The recipe is pretty simple.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Take about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin seeds rinsed and patted dry. Then coat with a few tablespoons of melted butter and few pinches of salt. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes. They are a perfect snack.
There were quite a few opinions on carving style. George said, “I want the jack o lantern to say, ‘grrrrrrrr!'” I think Brian did a pretty good job.
I’m not sure it says “Grrrrr!” But I think it is pretty spooky! Happy Halloween!!
