Behold... our jack-o-lantern... if you look close enough, you can see where Lee started to trace a pattern... then decided he did not have all night to carve a pumpkin...annnnnnnnnnd this is what we were left with.
It started out great... I scooped the guts ( apparently it makes Lee's skin itchy...yeah right...) anyways, I scooped it out and showed Lee how to start laying the pattern for a really cute mummy design. I left him in the garage to get started and by the time I came out- he had already thrown out the design, the small pumpkin carvers, and is now hacking away at this 15lb pumpkin with a Cuisinart serrated bread knife. No pattern, no plan... just cutting pieces out of poor Jack's face.
I flashed forward five years from now when we carve Hailey's first pumpkin..... all she'll want is a My Little Pony jack-o-lantern, and she'll eagerly wait for Lee to finish carving... and two hours and umpteen profanities later he'll turn around Mr. Snaggletooth Pumpkin with one HUGE eyeball because he carved to close together. Maybe we'll just paint pumpkins from now on....
