We got down to business the other day and carved our pumpkin. The absolute best thing about holiday traditions is getting to share them with your children. We got a "ghost" pumpkin this year, and wondered if it would be white on the inside too. Turns out, it had the same yellow "guts" and same wonderfully rich pumpkin smell as the old orange kind does. Lizzy and Peter helped take out all the seeds, and I was left with the dirty work of scooping it clean. Don't feel too sorry for me, my OCD kicked right in and I had that pumpkin thoroughly scraped within an inch of it's life. Then the fun part- making the face. I'm always a traditionalist when it comes to jack-o-lanterns- triangle eyes and nose and toothy grin. We're ready for a spooky good time now!
