Carving pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns

"I am a pumpkin big and round, I once grew upon the ground,
Now I have two eyes, a mouth and a nose, where did they come from do you suppose?
With a candle inside shining bright,
I'll be a Jack-o-lantern on Halloween night!"

Curtis was asking and asking when We could carve his pumpkin. I kept telling him that we could once the dishes were cleared and the table ready. Well, whilst I was puttering around, he stealthily acquired the small pumpkin carving tools from the sharps drawer. He had a big square mouth cut out and a smaller square nose which took up the whole "face"area. Then he must have scooped and scooped. He was so excited to show me his progress. I cheered him On. How surprised i was as he is only 5years old. Then he went to work on the eyes. We'll where could they go? Well on top of course...on either side of the stem. So the thing looks like it is screaming and looking up at this thing growing out from in between its eyes.
Quite hysterical...my funny little bug.
