Carving Pumpkins

Tuesday night Dad didn't have meetings so we decided to carve pumpkins (an activity that we have not done in years.) To start off the night we went out to the front porch to pick our pumpkins. Dad went out there first and said, "You have to come and pick your own out because I'm not doing it for you." So, I made the long journey to the front porch and picked my pumpkin. And here they are before we attack them! :)

Here we are cleaning out the good old pumpkins!

This one is Dad's, it's really cute with ears and all.

Here are the final products. We decided that each one of our pumpkins had their own personality. (Mine, Mom, Dad) We each took a different approach to carving. Mom got out paper and did a rough draft of what she wanted before she even started drawing on the pumpkin. Dad took the pencil to the pumpkin and made his pattern. Now me on the other hand, I tried to make a pattern and then decided I was just going to free hand it. So there you go! We had a great time, it brought back memories of carving pumpkins as kids.
