Carving Jacketie Lanterns

For Family Night the Monday before Halloween, we carved our "Jacketie Lanterns" as Bug likes to call them. Here are some pictures of the process. We decided since it was the kids' first time we would let them help us gut the pumpkins and make a mess. Both of them were grossed out and didn't want to do it, so J and I ended up having to help....just a little. lol It was so fun to watch the kids. Milo was tracking through the mess investigating the madness. It was a very fun night, and the kids are still talking about pumpkins and jacketie lanterns and Bug keeps asking if it's Halloween again?
