This year, Logan really relished it. He pulled out those pumpkin guts with vigor and both of them picked out their own pattern. Logan wanted a skeleton and Lily wanted a spider. Of course, Mike and I did all the actual cutting but it was so much fun to have them participate in cleaning out the pumpkins.
I was brave enough to separate the seeds out from the guts this year and made some yummy baked pumpkin seeds. Just a dash of salt and pepper and they were delicious! :) Of course, this year we got a little extra mileage out of our pumpkins because I used the guts in Logan's spooky lab!
Anyway, we really enjoyed watching the kids get all messy and make a huge mess for that matter. ;D As we all know, you know who (me) got stuck cleaning everything up afterward. Oh well, it was worth it when I saw my two kiddos just thrilled about their creations. They were so excited after seeing their glowing Jack O' Lanterns it was hard to get them to bed.
