Jack-O-Lantern

Pumpkin carving is a family affair for us.  The girls tell Lee what they want for a face and then he patiently carves up the pumpkin.  We all dig out the seeds (for roasting later) and the girls make several trips to the compost in the garden with all the chunks of pumpkin that we don't use.  I think that this year's pumpkin is one of our best, if not the best we've ever had.
