Hannah hard at work tracing out the designs before carvingHannah was here for the weekend and we decided to make a trip to the pumpkin patch and choose a couple of large pumpkins to carve into Jack-O-Lanterns. Unfortunately the pumpkin patch is not open for business until October 8 so.... we had to go to a local grocery store and choose a couple of pumpkins there. We came home and carved the pumpkins... one on Saturday and the other one on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. We did the same thing last year and Hannah enjoyed it so much I decided to continue the tradition and do it again this year. Below are a couple of pictures of Hannah with the final projects.
By the way... I have posted all the answers to the "What Is It" games. Thanks to those who guessed. There may be more to come if we find more things to photograph.
And for those interested... click here to read about the History of the Jack-O-Lantern. You will have to scroll down a little when the new page opens. I posted this info last year and thought it was pretty interesting.
