Pumpkins

Noah picked all our pumpkins this year. The large ones were for carving, the smaller for front door decoration and snacks for the squirrels.
Lukas and Noah brought these two large gourds inside, and carefully cleaned and dried them. With markers and pens they set out to draw a design. Noah remarked that this was the first year he had cleaned out his pumpkin, and how hard it was to make it clean. Yet, he persevered and carefully scraped all the innards into a bowl. Now it is up to Mamma to sort out the seeds for roasting.
Lukas brought out a set of LED lights for his pumpkin, whereas Noah remained traditional and opted for a candle.
They had a lot of fun carving, cutting, and carving some more - all while munching on candies. The weather is pretty nasty, so the boys opted for staying home, and greeting any trick or treaters that come to the door rather than canvassing the neighborhood.
