Pumpkin Carving, Pumpkin Seeds, and Some Scary Kids!

It was finally time to carve the pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns! We cut and sawed and scooped and scraped those things within an inch of their lives and stood back to admire our hard work. It's our tradition to turn off every light in the house to view them for the first time all lit up and pose for pictures. Scary, right?


Next, my own little creepy boys decided to get in on the action.

Finally, to cap off the night, we always roast the pumpkin seeds for a "bed night snack" as my kids would say. Have you ever tried it? Let's go!

Rinse

Pat dry

Drizzle with olive oil and kosher salt and mix. Pop them into the oven at 250 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours - turning every 30 minutes

Munch!

Happy Halloween!
