After visiting the pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin, it was time to carve it. Trey's job over the past several years has been to scoop out the guts. He did a marvelous job this year, and cleaned out the whole pumpkin mostly by himself. Jesse was not as sure about sticking his hand inside the pumpkin. His verdict was, "Yuck!"
Phil and I picked out a beautiful pumpkin this year with a large, curving stem. We had to talk Trey into getting this pumpkin, so we resorted to bribery and told both boys that they could get something from the gift shop. Jesse picked out pumpkin decorating stickers and he was much more impressed with putting the stickers on the smaller pumpkins than he was with the guts of the big pumpkin.
Once we got out the scoop to dig out the inside of the pumpkin, Jesse was much more interested in helping to clean out the big pumpkin.

Jesse was kind enough to share his stickers with Trey, so here's Trey's sticker decorated pumpkin.
Daddy did a WONDERFUL job carving out the haunted house that Trey had picked out. But the beautiful, curving green stem that was the whole reason we picked out this pumpkin. Well, the pumpkin fell over on the ride home, and that beautiful stem snapped right off.
Unfortunately, even though it has cooled off tremendously this week, carved pumpkins don't last long in south Georgia. It was beautiful while it lasted though.
