How to carve a pumpkin 101

First you get a pumpkin.

Then you scoop out the guts!

 Next you tape on the pattern.

After the pattern is securely fastened to your pumpkin, score the pattern onto the pumpkin. (We do not have a picture of this step so just enjoy the brief intermission and imagine yourself completing this step.)

You are now ready to start carving your pumpkin.

 

 Sometimes you might need a little help. . . :)

When you're finished carving, bring the pumpkin(s) outside on your front porch.

Finally, it's time for the moment of truth. Place a candle in the bottom of your pumpkin and carefully light the candle.

. . . and voila! JACK-O-LANTERNS!!! Happy Halloween!
