We carved pumpkins with our LO for the first time! She had a ton of fun getting all the seeds out with us. But then she bailed when we started carving! 
I free hand the design then we carved it with a paring knife. LOL.
Pretty proud of how it turned out!

@locavore_mama: Wow, great job! The one on top looks sneaky
We haven't carved pumpkins before with the kids. They did paint some this year, though.

Awesome!! I hate carving pumpkins (too messy, my design always breaks, and then it doesn't look as good as I imagined), so I just paint them.
Maybe if I set my standards lower, and didn't try to do such a fancy design, I'd like it better... I do miss the roasted pumpkin seeds!
@locavore_mama: I love how they turned out!! Super cute!
ETA: Here are my painted pumpkins

I LOVE all things Fall, but for some reason, I do not have the bug to carve pumpkins. My husband loves it, so I always do it anyway. His for this year is awesome!! It's Walt/Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. Mine is an owl. A simple, little owl, haha.

We are doing ours tonight.
@swurlygurl: Just cut them before you throw them out and grab the seeds then. Getting the seeds is why I carve.

@mediagirl: haha I was planning too then Dh said wow it's so much work. And I said well, don't you like pumpkin seeds? He loves sunflower seeds. He said he doesn't and I'm not a huge fan so in the garbage can they go! hehe

@Smurfette: OH - great plan!! I usually let them sit til they rot and DH has to throw them away. One year they were still out front at New Years, and a (pretty drunk) friend was over and tried to drop kick it into the street, but it was so old that his foot just went through it... hahahaha
