Pumpkin Carving

Today is "Carve a Pumpkin Day", and the girls finally had the opportunity to turn their 
pumpkins into Jack-o-Lanterns. Lonnie, being the oldest, did all the initial cutting.....

It was the little girl's job to clean out the insides of the pumpkins. Elin used a big spoon...

Nami got out a bowl to hold all the seeds and pumpkin guts, but there was just too much...

..finally, she just gave up trying to be neat, and seriously started to dig in....

When they were all done, they had five scary Jack-o-Lanterns

With that messy job done, everyone got into their costumes. They looked so nice,
 but I felt bad for Cinnamon and Tillie watching sadly from their spot on the shelf.
 So today I will try whip something together for them as well.
