This is the way we carve a pumpkin

I don't really get into holidays much, with the exception of Christmas. I don't decorate for other holidays, and I'm certainly not a crafty mom. But the holidays are magical for children, right? The boys have been noticing that houses in our neighborhood are decorated for Halloween, and they learned all about pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns at school (and skeletons, which fascinates Joe, but that's another story . . . ). So, I decided that we should carve jack-o-lanterns as a family on Saturday. A wonderful family holiday activity that everyone would enjoy, right? Not so much.

Here's what Dad did during jack-o-lantern carving (note the lack of any kids in this picture):
