Every year, my kids forget that they don't actually like to carve pumpkins, and they ask for pumpkins to carve. Every year, I end up scooping the goop out of two oversized pumpkins while the kids watch TV. Then they get to do the fun part -- carving faces into the pumpkins -- and I get to do the cleanup.

At least this year we progressed to the kids doing most of the cleanup. I'll still have to wash the floor, but they managed most of the clearing up by themselves...
