Our Jack-O-Lantern


This Fall has been a very busy one for our family. Every weekend was packed and we never ended up apple picking or pumpkin picking. In a very anti-climatic pumpkin pick trip, Avery, Kamryn, and I ended up just buying this pumpkin at the grocery store. Although it was not the family moment I craved and did not involve a hay ride, at least we got a pumpkin. And it's damn near perfect!

Since I couldn't get my family moment to pick out the pumpkin, I insisted on a family moment to carve the pumpkin. CJ looks so thrilled. Doesn't every 17 yr old boy hang with his family to carve their annual pumpkin???

YUMMO!!!!
So, after the top was cut off Chris and CJ disappeared, leaving just us girls to scoop out the insides and separate the seeds for later.
After the scooping was done, everyone left the table but Avery and I. So I was left to do the carving. Thank you Avery for snapping the picture.
Avery's turn to carve!

TA-DA..... Our Jack-O-Lantern!
After Avery and I finished carving we roasted, toasted, and caramelized our pumpkin seeds!
