Choosing the Perfect Pumpkin
It is almost Halloween and you don’t want to be the only house on the street without a carved jack-o-lantern on your stoop! When choosing your pumpkin select one that has a flat base, so your finished pumpkin sits solidly. Remember, you can carve the pumpkin on any side so don’t get hung up about having the stem at the top. Stems can make great noses! Choose a gourd that is free from major blemishes, if the blemishes are small don’t worry, Halloween is in two days! The darker the skin of the pumpkin, the harder the skin will be to carve. For younger kids choose lighter color pumpkins, they will be easier for them to work with.
