We have been very busy and want to spend some quality time with our boys. We decided that on Sunday evening we would take time to carve our jack-o-laterns before we run out of Halloween holiday time. Overall, the boys had a great time. The younger boys still struggle with the slimy pumpkin guts but they are getting better at cleaning out their pumpkins. David is getting to be a real pro, finishing his jack-o-latern before the other boys had their pumpkins cleaned out.
In the end, I think we turned out a great group of jack-o-lanterns. Aleky was the only injury. While trying to carve his own pumpkin he carved a little chunk of his finger! Unfortunately, due to the large number of bleeding injuries recently, our essential oil supply was depleted So we found a neighbor with some super glue and put Aleky back together again.
