Peter Peter pumpkin eater!

My mom bought Aaron a Halloween pumpkin and a pumpkin carving set from Woolies yesterday and today Aaron and I set about making our very own Jack-o-Lantern.

Thanks Nana

 

Pumpkin guts are slimy and gross! Also, its easier to grab them in your hand than to use the scoop 🙂

 

Design taped to the pumpkin and ‘traced’ on

 

Careful, the saw is sharp, ask an adult to help you!

 

Eye see you

 

All carved up

 

Aaron could not wait for night to fall so we could light the candle

 

Boo!

 

Oh, take a look over here to see what we did with the seeds 🙂

Homemade fresh roasted pumpkin seeds

Today Aaron and I carved our very first halloween pumpkin.  There were a ton of seeds and instead of throwing them away, I roasted them.
