We're not really against it, we just don't really do it
I think we're going to carve one pumpkin this year.
WE LOVE TO CARVE THEM. I get every child their own and what ever they want to do with it it's their to do what they choose with it. HAVE NOT MISS A YEAR IN 21 YRS.

I love the tradition AND the mess involved in carving... but I do love painting them, too!
