I love to do so many different things over the fall season. Although my number one favorite thing to do during the fall is carve pumpkins with my family. We start carving in about the middle of October... around the 15th. I feel so excited because every year, my crazy family and I always have a great time carving pumpkins together, it's one of the funnest days of the year in my house. The first thing my family and I do is go to a small farm and buy a few fun sized and colored pumpkins. (white and orange) Afterwards we go home and get out all of our carving tools. We sit our pumpkins outside on our back porch, and while drinking apple cider, get ready to do the first step. The first step is, cutting off the top of the pumpkin to pull out all of the slimy seeds and then we have contests to see who can carve out the funniest face. We also use "Mr. Potato Head" pieces do decorate it and make it even more creative, but mostly because it makes it pretty fun, just by mix and matching all of the pieces. After were all done making the faces, we take off the top off the pumpkin lid, and then we put a small candle in the center of the silly pumpkin. Finally we're finished, we clean it up a little bit, and then put it outside of our house to show all of the "spooky" trick -or- treaters for the festive Halloween season.
