Jake and Jayden have wanted to carve their pumpkins and eat the seeds since the day we got them in late September. I had to keep saying "not quite yet- they'll rot"- which was met with moans and groans. We ended up cooking the seeds, but the kids added so much salt, they couldn't stand to eat any! We then lit the pumpkins, put them on Jake's decorated fireplace, turned out all the lights and turned on Jake's spooky monster man. They were so excited- but snuggled close to me! Jonathan didn't want to carve a pumpkin this year.
