Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza!

Last night we all had a blast with pumpkin carving. We had Ashlee over for dinner (just sandwiches and I even made her bring her own can of soup) and got to work. I had some patterns I found from the Internet since I can't do anything even slightly artistic on my own. First we had to gut them...


Here's Rena and Ashlee getting started...

Daddy and his little princess....


I love Rena's face in this, she looks totally grossed out by the whole thing. Tommy's "help" was to pick out his pattern and pumpkin, the rest was left up to me. He didn't want to touch the insides of the pumpkin.



Here we are working diligently.



Here is Syrena's finished product... It's kind of hard to tell what it is. It's a cat but the weird beard thing at the bottom skews it because it sort looks like a mouth. I think I should have not done that part.



Here are Syrena's and Ashlee's pumpkins.


This one is Tommy's. I messed up the left eye a little but it still looks okay. It's supposed to be the face on the Headless Horseman's pumpkin head from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Tommy's again, just in the light.
This one is Eric's- it's so cool. It's my favorite by far. You can totally see the momma bear and the baby. In the dark with the candle lit you can't really see it, it's much better in the light. I didn't get to do mine yet since I had to do the kids' but I'm hoping to do that tonight.
