Happy or Mad?

Tonight is the night that the girls chose between happy or mad. The story is that every time in the past two weeks we have seen a jack-o-lantern face they yell out whether or not the pumpkin looks happy or mad. Both girls were very involved in the pumpkin guts removal and were thrilled to make a collection of pumpkin seeds. Check out the following photos and the "happy" or "mad" end result.
