We didn't have to buy any pumpkins this year for Halloween, we harvested (is that a word?) 7 pumpkins from our garden. We carved jack-o-lanterns on Sunday and had a ton of fun. Lilly wanted a silly one, I carved a screaming one and Mike carved a scarey one. 
I did the grunt work, I cut the top off and helped scoop out all the guts and seeds :) We saved some of the seeds and roasted them. They are soooooooo yummy, and really easy to make.
Mike helped Lilly carve her pumpkin, she wanted it to have 3 teeth :)We have a couple extra pumpkins and Lilly really wanted to paint one so I put an apron on her and let her do her thang, she had a blast! It looks quite colorful too :)

what a super fun family activity!!! we love carving pumpkins at my house too--but we don't grow our own!! that is so awesome-good for you guys! Happy Halloween!
We (I) had so much fun carving our pumpkin this year too. I also roasted the seeds. I've tried it before, but they didn't come out that good. This time I followed a recipe online and I even make some spicy ones with Cayenne pepper. SOOO GOOD!!!
I must your pumpkins turned out terrific in comparision to mine, but that shouldn't surprise me with Mike being artistic and all.
Just passing through! Looks like you had fun! Great pumpkins!
