Here’s Anja, trying to figure out what these big orange things are. They don’t look anything like her jingly pumpkin necklace. This was taken shortly before she tried to lift one.
We had a grand old time, letting Anja touch the seeds and gook.
Then the pacifier had to come out because she kept trying to eat the seeds and gook.
Babies do that kind of stuff, I guess. Daddy also gave her her own little pumpkin to “carve” with a spoon. That, as you can imagine, worked very well. But it actually kept her entertained for a little while so we could do some carving of our own.
Mine’s a bat in front of gothic windows, if you can’t tell. He’s a little lopsided, but that’s what happens.
And here’s Husband’s:
Fun times! Happy Halloween, everyone!
Minnesota Mom 
Wow! I am impressed by your carving. It is so much better than mine would be if I were carving a pumpkin this year!
Emma DID eat some seeds. And some pumpkin rind. Fun times!
Your pumpkins are amazing!!!
My children actually hate the gooey seeds!
Whimps, I say!
I love your punkins!
Great pumpkin carvings! I was going to carve a few with my kids even tho they are older now but we haven’t gotten it done yet. My son will be home from college this weekend but with the harvest going on full swing, I don’t know if we will find much time to get it done.
Cool pumpkins!
Those are awesome pumpkins. We haven’t even carved one this year — it’s kind of a pain, especially considering no one but me will eat the pumpkin seeds (cooked, of course).
Looks like Anja had a great time “helping.” 🙂
Those pumpkins are awesome. Happy Halloween!
Those are some fancy pants pumpkins. I like Anja’s attempt to carve them with a spoon. So cute.
Wow. Your bat pumpkin is amazing. My carvings resemble Anja’s attempt. My artist battle cry has always been, “It’s the thought that counts.”
I still puzzle over where you got all your creative abilities, the pumpkins are amazing and something I was never able to do, couldn’t even cut out the standard triangle eyes, etc. As you may recall, I was never in there helping pull out the goo, that was Dad’s job!
Your bat pumpkin is awesome! Good job!
