In the cold of winter, we carved pumpkins. I went for a simplistic style. I think it is perfect… do you know who it is?

We hosted a pumpkin carving party today. There were guts everywhere… I’m tired. Here are the rest of the family’s creations.

Pumpkin carving is a sport in this house.  The selections were made yesterday. The table was set this morning, tools, cloth, one bucket for guts, one for seeds. No power tools this year – in the past drills, jig saws and even a sawzall have been fair game. Just the knives, spoons and scooper were enough.

I am proud to say the kids have outgrown the templates, though the girl did use a One Direction logo as a guide.  Time was spend online by some looking for inspiration. My son has had his plan for months, simple, big pumpkin eats small pumpkin. I grabbed some white pumpkins this year and made a tribute to Jack. We have Harry Potter and sight scene and we even made a pumpkin mask that was handed around and at one time might have been on the dog.
