In the past, we have always carved our pumpkins on Halloween Eve. But this year, because I was scheduled to teach that night, we chose to do our annual carving a few days earlier. We brought the pumpkins inside to warm up the night before and set to work on Sunday evening to design some masterpieces.
There is something so exciting about taking the top off the pumpkin and looking inside ...
Last year, Sophia was a little leery of the whole "pumpkin guts" thing; she really didn't want to get her fingers covered in the gooey stuff. This year, though, she dug right in.
Samantha is an expert by now.

Gooey, sticky fingers!
So happy about her progress:
After a while, Jack needed to relax on the floor ...
