Carving Jack-O-Lanterns
How to carve a jack-o-lantern in six easy steps with the Nelson family:
Step 1: Scoop out the pumpkin's guts.
Jed wasn't too sure how he felt about this slimy game. Needless to say, I took over. Bron's fist wouldn't fit inside this little pumpkin.
Step 2: Use your creative skills to draw a face
Don't forget to yell, "Halloween! Halloween!" about fifty times over.
Step 3: Wear a cheesy grin because this is super exciting!
Step 4: Stab the pumpkin with a kitchen knife and carve away
Don't forget cool details like a pirate sword tattoo. (We really should invest in some cool pumpkin carving cutlery one day.)
Step 5: Say "cheese"! Being a goober for the camera wins you lots of points with Mom.
Step 6: Light a candle and show off your spooky jack-o-lantern creations!
We're excited for Halloween!
I love your jack-o-lanterns, including the special pirate sword tattoo! (It's all about the details!) Lewie doesn't like taking out the pumpkin guts either... I can't wait to see your little guys' costumes!
