3. Stick your hand in and pull out all the seeds...and gunk (technical term) that goes along with it (also: this step is best left for Hubby or those of the male gender in order to not get unnecessarily messy)

5. Draw classic face on pumpkin, and promptly forget to take a picture while you prance around in excitement
6. Hand camera to hubby (along with strict instructions to BE. CAREFUL. WITH. IT., and begin to cut out the face

  2. That was all Stephen's dad's idea - he had an extra light bar laying around in his shop/garage!
