Here's how the carving went. Brandt hacked away at his pumpkin on his own, free-handing a face complete with unibrow, zit, big smiley mouth, and mustache. Blythe wanted a pattern, and when I couldn't find our book with pumpkin carving patterns, she had to look one up online and then had to have lots of help from me to realize the pumpkin of her imagination. I carved a small white squash to look like a ghost, and we left the rest to moulder and ooze a bit. It was a fun FHE activity and gave the front porch an even more Halloween-y feel that before.
Now, before tomorrow, I need to find some votives to put inside.
