Pumpkins

This weekend was all about Halloween.  Making sure we had all of the needed pieces for our son's costume (jedi knight) and a basic outfit for our daughter (black shirt and pants) for her to be a cat or bat.  We had a kid's halloween party to go to on Saturday night. That was a blast.  And picking out pumpkins and carving them into jack o'lanterns on Sunday.  Without speaking, the three of us who were carving instead of painting on our pumpkin, did bats.  I'll have to get a photo up of that.  My husband spent hours on his.  My son and I didn't get as involved.  I had more fun eating the pumpkin seeds that we baked.  Good stuff.   This was the first year that I just let myself get dirty with the pumpkin guts.  Not worrying about if it was on my clothes, in my hair, etc.  I must admit, I don't like the feeling of the stringy bits drying on my skin....but maybe I got squash issues.
