pumpkin carving?

Do you have a pumpkin carving tradition? Do you make pie from the innards?

we use to have a tradition when i lived at home but not any more and my kids never did get into it much --they just love to get the candy

I was talking to someone about this earlier today...and they told me that you can't/shouldn't eat the type of pumpkins that we carve.  I meant to look into that and this post is a good reminder for me to go and do that.

  I haven't carved pumpkins since I was little, but it was always fun. I heard about pumpkin ice cream the other day and now my mouth is kind of watering for that!

We never carved pumpkins when I was a kid.  I did buy one to feed to the chickens.

We used to carve them when my girls were young.  We had so much fun, but it was a mess cleaning up!

No I have never carved a pumpkin before, but I seen someone do it. It looks like fun

  Since our family is always so broke, we don't carve the pumpkins anymore, we draw, color, paint and then we still have the entire pumpkin to make soup, baked, seeds to eat!   Okay, sometimes we still do carve one or two!

We are having and big family party this weekend and will carve pumpkins with the kids but we don't do it every year.

We carved pumpkins when our kids were little.  The carving tool sets that are available today...the little saw tooth blade on an orange handle....make the task much simpler and safer than using a kitchen knife like we used to do.

I didn't know anything about pumpkins or pumpkin carving until I relocated to America 8 years ago! I was fascinated by the many carved expressions on pumpkins left on neighbors doorsteps and so last year, for the first time, I gave pumpkin carving a go. I had such fun and in all honesty, I did a super job carving a wonderful pumpkin. I was so proud of it and I can't wait to do it again this year. What a wonderful tradition.

I found that drawing a face on the pumpkin with permanent marker is a lot easier!
