I'll be honest- I was dreading the pumpkin carving this year. It always starts out as a fun family activity and then after 10 minutes the boys tire of pulling out guts and start fighting over who gets to use the "cool" (AKA- child safety knife) tools to carve. Almost on auto-pilot I refrain from anyone touching any knife and banish them all from the kitchen and I'm stuck with several pumpkins in various stages of the pumpkin 'gutting and stuck with doing it myself. So as you can tell, this isn't my favorite activity... HOWEVER, this year was FABULOUS! I realized the boys really can do a lot on their own. They even went through their guts and cleaned off all the seeds for me to make them roasted treats. So, in 2009 we turned the corner in terms of pumkin carving independence.
