Pumpkin Carving

Let me start off by saying, I love carving pumpkins! Last year I just ran out of time and didn't get a chance to carve one, and I wasn't about to let that happen again this yar. So, Steven and I did a little pumpkin carving with Brook and Austin last night (well I should say with Tim and Austin...Brook just instructed her daddy to what she wanted).

Steven helped Austin get his pumpkin all cleaned out and then Austin did some carving. Brook just stopped by every now and then to check the progress of hers.

Brook with her finished pumpkin. She decided that she wanted both sides of her pumpkin carved...this side has the letters ACC (cheerleading stuff).

Austin's was very proud of his skull and crossbones.

I carved the spider...which you can see in the collage above.

the pumpkin on the right is the other side of Brook's pumpkin. This is a picture of a crown...for the princess, of course!

Both of the designs that Brook choose had to be done free handed, since most pumpkin carving kits, don't come with a crown pattern.

Missy could not find the candles, so just imagine the pumpkins being lit : )
