3 of 7...Pumpkins and Halloween Fun

A few blogs ago you may have read about our "Great Pumpkin" hunt...well on this night, we rolled up our sleeves (or in Joshua and William's case- shirts off) and carved us some jack-o-lanterns.

Here the boys are hard at work. Our neighbor, Mike joined in on the carving carnage.

William showing Dad how to connect the dots. Jared found the, "Advanced" carving design in which he found to be more than just a challenge. The next tree Jared decides to carve will be a real one using a chain saw... :)


William and his "pumpkin." It was actually very hard to carve seeing as how this guy was as solid as an Easter bunny chocolate.

Joshua did an awesome job carving his own pumpkin. It was quite a challenge for him as well, but as the pictures show below...his Alien and UFO design came out excellent.

The final products...from left to right...Jared's intricate tree design, Michael's 3d grumpy pumpking and Joshua's "Beam me up Scotty" design.


We all had a great time and the best present of all was watching the boys find their inner "hunter and gather'er" while carving and wielding knives (kinda scary if you really think about it).
