Anatomy of Pumpkin Carving

Step 1 -- find a kid small enough to sit on the table and dig in to pull out all of the goopy stuff.  He said YUCK with every handful but kept going back for more.

 

Step 2 -- get a teenager that happens to have a love of spiders (only on paper), give her a sharp knife and let her go

 

Step 3 -- place a candle inside and let it light up the kitchen

 

(Note: When Dan carved the top off, the first knife we used actually broke....that's one tough pumpkin!)
