Carving Pumpkins



The much-anticipated pumpkin carving happened last night. Gabe has been talking about it for a good three weeks. He had each of our patterns picked out and ready to go. The dragon is my pumpkin (carved by Nathan), the spider holding the pumpkin is Gabe's (carved by Nathan) the big pumpkin with the goofy grin is Nate's pumpkin (carved by Nathan) and the cat pumpkin is Asher's (carved by me)! We had such a blast, and Gabe helped us carry the pumpkins out to the front porch afterwards so that we could snap some photos. He is SOOOOO excited about Halloween tomorrow!

My favorite is the Cat but dad likes the "nose-less pumpkin" best....He thinks nose-less beings are really scary!

Yeah, that was really freaking Gabe out too! He kept saying "It needs a nose Dad! It needs a nose!!!" Hee hee hee! Nate wanted to do a pattern on his, but when he gutted it, he realized the darn thing was like four inches thick!! No kidding! So those cutsie little pumpkin tools wouldn't have really worked!
