Pumpkin Carving

I will attempt to carve our pumpkin tonight. I will post pictures of the pumpkin selection process, close-ups of the pumpkin before his demise, and finally the Jack-O-Lantern when it is finished. I don't really have the best tools, but I can make do. I have a feeling my exacto knife will come in handy. I have also been thinking of the book, "The Pumpkin Smasher" we had when we were kids. I decided to research it online to see if any copies are available. It is out of print, but a few copies were on Amazon for $78. Too rich for my blood, but I would like to continue searching. I remember the story was perfect for kids at Halloween. Not too scary, not too silly. It was a great little mystery with perfect illustrations.
