*When you are first trying to get into your pumpkin, cut off the bottom instead of the top! That way it will sit flat, you can just put your candle down and place the pumpkin over it, AND when you have to throw it away, you just pick it up by the stem! GENIUS!!!!!
*When you're trying to scoop out the junk from the inside of your pumpkin, use an ice cream scoop--preferrably one with a serrated edge, but not necessary. It cut our "scraping out" time by more than half, seriously!!! Why did I not think of these things before???
Anyway, I was going to post a picture of our finished product--but the batteries in my camera are dead, so you'll just have to wait till tomorrow. I know, it will be rough :o)
Happy Halloween, everyone!!!!
And don't eat any of those pirate chocolate coins I've gotten 85,000 emails about...
OK, there--I've warned you!

Those are some great tips. I will have to remember them for next year. I can't wait until we see your pumpkins. Don't forget to take a picture!
Cool tips! I've never thought of cutting off the bottom. We never made it to the pumpkin patch with the family, and our little pumpkins are staying uncarved this year. Oh well!
PS--I love your warning at the end. :)
