Pumpkin Carving

I have never claimed to be the world's greatest mom. Sometimes there is ice cream for dinner, but that is only on the summer months. There are days that I proclaim that chocolate is the breakfast of champions and let them have something chocolately in the morning. Then, there are the times that I let the days get away from me and forget to carve our pumpkins. Even with all the begging, I still forget to let them do it. So, on November 2nd (yes the date on the pictures is correct) I let them FINALLY carve a pumpkin. They had a great time, with the exception of scraping out the inside, they found that gross. Laney wanted to make it a little dog so she put the cut out eyes on top with toothpicks so they would look like ears. I didn't get a picture of that part, but it was cute. She also named it Jack O'Lantern, after our dog Jack. Here is the pre Jack pumpkin.
