Hi! Rowan again. A few days before Halloween we went pumpkin carving at our friends Sean and Lisa's house. It was so fun! Trin's friend Alli came with us First we got all our tools and pick out what we wanted to use. Then we could get started.
First we had to get all the guts out. We ether used ice cream scoops or our hands. I found using your hands was easier but more disgusting. The seeds and guts were slippery and slimy. It took me and Trin a lot of time to get everything out. Then we could start designing and carving our pumpkins.
Carving the pumpkins was a little tricky but lots of fun. Sean brought gourds so we could use them for noses and ears. I came up with the idea for using them for ears. Trin, Gavin, Lisa, and I did faces. Alli did a picture of a wolf howling. They were all really cool and funny.
This is Gavin, Lisa's son, with what we call the pumpkin top hat. After we were done carving we went in for pizza and apple cider. It was delicious.
Sean really wanted to throw to throw pumpkin guts at Trin but sadly didn't. (Funny picture.) He loves pumpkin carving. When Halloween comes around he has everything set up. We've been doing it together for years. When it was dark out we got glow sticks and played tag.
This is Pallas's and Alli's pumpkins all lit up. I loved pumpkin carving and can't wait to do it next year.

Peace and love,
Rowan :]

Hey, girlies, did you know that pumpkin guts are good for your skin? It has enzymes in it that get rid of old, dry skin. So next time, fling some of that pumpkin junk right at Sean's face. Trust me, he will love it.
