Pumpkin Carving

This year, since COVID has impacted our ability to go trick-or-treating and do many of the other fall activities that we typically enjoy, we decided to spend some of the money that we weren’t spending on those other things on some obscenely large pumpkins to turn into jack-o-lanterns.

The rule was: if you can lift the pumpkin, mommy will buy you the pumpkin.

I’m not too sure about this…

First, we scoop. And scoop. And scoop.

Ewwww, gross!
