Carving Pumpkins

We always carve pumpkins before Halloween. As a kid in Idaho it was always done the weekend before. Here we have to do it the night before as it seems the pumpkins rot in records time here is Texas. This year Joe let Chase use a real (steak) knife. I was a nervous wreck. How am I going to feel when he drives a car? Anyway we had a blast. Neither one of them will touch the pumpkin goop so Joe and I always have to scoop them out. Every year I toast the pumpkin seeds. This year Chase and Joe told me they are gross so I threw them out.
