Pumpkin Carving

We pride ourselves on being pretty decent pumpkin carvers. This year we had a hard time getting our pumpkins to cooperate with us but I still think they turned out pretty good. I carved the vampire Mickey for Jake and the wolf one is mine, I chose a vampire and a wolf to go with my obsession to the Twilight books. Robert carved Buzz lightyear, which was a tough one, for Cody and the spider one was his. The little pumpkin that is just a plain old jack o lantern is Cody's that he picked while on a field trip with his school and he say's it's his favorite, so much for killing ourselves over the buzz lightyear but oh well. This was the first year that Cody has gutted a pumpkin himself, he usually say's that it is too groose and he did say that this year too but he also thought it was kind of fun. You will notice that Jake is not in any of the pictures. He gets a bit cranky around 7 o clock and goes to bed shortly there after so he was in sleepy land for most of our pumpkin carving experience, I'm sure he will be right in the middle of everything next year though!

I can't believe how creative you guys are. Every year they get more and more detailed. We're awful. We haven't even attempted to carve a pumpkin with Hayden for fear of the mess - (and we know it wouldn't last more than a day out on our porch before being smashed in the street. :( )
