A Little Pumpkin Carving



Pumpkin Carving - a required tradition for the Fall.  :)  We had a lot of fun playing in the pumpkin guts! 

Tip:  Something my husband and I have done over the years is to put Vaseline on the cut or carved areas to keep the pumpkin from withering so quickly.  To keep your hard work even longer, cover with saran wrap and store in the fridge (when not displaying) after slathering with Vaseline.


We also baked our pumpkin seeds, they turned out pretty good.  :)  The kitchen smelled good with pumpkin and cinnamon!  Makes me ready to eat some sweet potato pie - yummo!  This is our new friend Ann modeling our seeds.  This was her first pumpkin carving - she said that this is not a tradition in her home country of Nigeria.
