Jack O Lantern

In our family, we usually wait until the night before Halloween to carve our pumpkins. We’ve tried carving them earlier, but then they are just too tempting to the local wildlife. One year, the squirrel hooligans hauled off man-sized pumpkins. So, we wait. Then, on Halloween night we light candles in the pumpkins and snack on toasted pumpkin seeds.
