Cross two more Halloween traditions off our list… The chili (two kinds this year) is made and our house smells fantastic. It took Andy about two hours to make both kinds, but it is worth every minute. I can’t wait to eat some tomorrow!
Also, our Jack-O-Lanterns are now happily in place on our front porch. It was quite the process getting there though. First, the kids must draw the faces that they want on their pumpkins.
Then, Mommy must scoop out the pumpkin guts! And I must say that I am quite a good pumpkin-gut scooper.
Third, Daddy uses his artistic skills to transfer the kids’ pumpkin face designs to the actual pumpkins.
Then, Daddy carves, carves, and carves until the pumpkins are satisfactory to all.
Meanwhile, Laura provides some comic relief…
Lastly, candles are added and the Jack-O-Lanterns are placed in their new home on our front porch for all to enjoy.
