Jack-a-lantern

Will has been itchin' to carve his cucurbita pebo since we got it home, perturbed that it was rested on the front planter, when it seriously needed to be inside, where it could be disembowled.

Finally losing his patience, he carried it in himself, then, later, grabbed assorted stabby knives, angling them for a strike.

He was encouraged to disarm and deface the pumpkin with a pen before proceeding -- which he did, and what was loosely followed.

He thinks it's pretty cool to peek at the candle through the various orfices.

And, made a spooky video:

The other two haven't given their pumpkins a second thought, since watching their mother place the squashes in the garden.  Consequently, any chocolate or caramel they might collect in the next week or so will be confiscated -- and nouget will be considered, too -- to protect them from irregular blood sugar levels, due to their lack of pumpkin consumption.
