Yes I said “ebola.”
...We started this pumpkin carving party tradition years ago when there was the huge Ebola outbreak scare, and my family is a little sarcastic and politically incorrect like that, so we called it that the first time around and it has stuck.

There isn’t much to say other than we get together after our pumpkin patch outting, and carve our pumpkins! I make chili and hot cider. We eat dinner, cookies, and snack on candy corn and pumpkin rolls while listening to Halloween music and carve our pumpkins.

Its fun putting them all together in the end and see them glow. It sets the mood for Halloween being just around the corner.

I had the intention of just letting Gavin “decorate” his pumpkin with stickers and paint, etc... but of course he saw us carving our pumpkins and wanted nothing to do with paint or stickers and wanted a knife! So he picked out what pattern he wanted (a cat) and we went to cutting. Or I guess I should say I did the cutting while he watched. He really liked taking his spoon/shovel and getting all the pumpkin guts out though! It was cool to see him want to be part of it. My baby boy is growing up. Perhaps next year he can cut one completely on his own.
