pumpkin carving!

I have such great memories of carving pumpkins growing up- newspaper spread out across the family room, bowls of goop dotting the floor, the smell of roasting pumpkin seeds, checking out our work by turning off the lights and putting candles in our masterpieces... This is certainly a tradition that Adam and I will continue with our family!

Since Burke can't wield a knife yet, this year we had friends over for "fall fest"- pumpkin carving, cider sipping, and pumpkin pie devouring. And now I have enough roasted pumpkin seeds to snack on for a couple weeks (or at the rate I'm snacking, enough for today- haha!). I love fall!
