Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving 2010

Of course they all said they wanted to help....but eventually it was just me carving the pumpkins. Tyler and Aaron did a great job cleaning out the pumpkins. Jacob said the smell was too bad for him to endure being near the pumpkins. Jared just said gross and went to watch Charlie Brown the Great Pumpkin. Always a good choice to have on the TV when carving.

Here we are getting started.Yeah, says Jared. Pumpkins!
Bring on the GUTS!

Ready to scoop out guts.

The pile of GUTS!

Jacob did help put the stencil on his pumpkin. I think next year he is going to be ready to carve his all by himself. That is if he can stand the smell of pumpkin.

Mom hard at work.

This year I decided to only get 2 pumpkins. Of course this meant that 1 pumpkin has 2 faces because Aaron & Tyler couldn't agree on a face. This is Aaron's choice.

The finished product. On the left is Aaron's choice. On the right is Jacob's.

On the left is Tyler's choice. This is on the back of Aaron's choice. It worked out pretty well.

My happy boys.

The happy carver.

This was much easier this year. Having the right tools makes all the difference.

Happy Halloween!
