For this activity we went to a local pumpkin patch
and everyone got to pick their perfect pumpkin to carve.I wanted to make it special, so I made this invite for my family and posted it on the front door for everyone to see as we left in the morning for work and school.

After we went to the pumpkin patch, we took our pumpkins home and had fun carving them.
It is a little slimy digging out all those seeds but that is the fun part right? We didn't throw them all away so that we could use them as part our treat for later.
The kids had fun helping to design the pumpkin faces and the older ones even got to help do some carving this year.
Some turned out more scary or goofy.
But each one was a little different.
After the pumpkins were carved we placed a candle inside each one--they looked so good!
Then we washed off the seeds and set them out on a cookie sheet. We covered the seeds with a little butter and salt them put them in the oven until they were roasted brown. Mmm, so yummy!
We decided to eat our pumpkin seeds while we watched Charlie Brown a the Great Pumpkin. What a fun night! By the time the movie was over, we were all ready for bed.
