Here is a bit of a delayed post on this past Halloween's pumpkin carving with our son. We never did find those carving tools and we ended up buying more. I was able to find the one cool scoop we had so I put them all in a safe place for next year.
His uncle brought him a really cool kit that turns your pumpkin into a light bright basically. You trace the dots onto your pumpkin, pound in the clear nails and place the kits color changing light inside and voila! It came out really awesome and he enjoyed it right up until the day we found the massive mold infestation inside of it. They last about 3-4 days after we cut them.
We smeared petroleum jelly all over the cut areas of our pumpkins, but we figured they were just too old already so that would be why they didn't last very long. We got them from a pumpkin patch that has no shade at all. And we are in sunny so cal. However, the best part of that was how soft they were when we cut them. Our son was able to carve his own pumpkin. We later sat him down to do another at my Mom's house but their pumpkins were just too fresh and too hard so he gave up once he started to struggle with the cutting.
He also helped Daddy carve a goofy bat into his pumpkin, and then we all ate some yummy pumpkin seeds.
