Okay, I admit it--fall's here. But it's not all bad! Sure, you have to get back to the same old school routine, but Halloween and Thanksgiving are coming up! Halloween. That spooky night, also called All Hallows Eve, where kids all over the world dress up in costumes and go from door to door, collecting candy with, you guessed it, Jack-O-Lanterns everywhere. Of course, you want to have your Jack-O-Lanterns ready by All Hallows Eve, so you carve it earlier. That is exactly what I did over the past weekend. Kids, you want to have a parent do the little details, but don't be afraid to do a little carving, too. For those of you who have never carved a pumpkin before, It's not hard, but if you do it wrong, it can result in frustration. Try not to do too many little details. It also doesn't take too long, but try to set out a 45 min-1 hour period to do the project. If you haven't done this traditional Halloween project before, I encourage you to try it. If you have, do it again. For a yummy snack, roast the pumpkin seeds that you find. You should love this project!
*TIP: WEAR DISHWASHING GLOVES.*
