Pumpkin Carving

We had a sunny afternoon for the annual pumpkin carving get together at Bryan and Joan's. This year Nathan carved his own pumpkin! Chris helped him prep the pumpkin by cutting off the top.

Of course, he needed his huge deer-gutting gloves to reach inside and "gut" the pumkin.

I jumped right in and got to work.

Bryan, in the planning stages.

Joan, working on her masterpiece. Hmmm... looks a lot like Bryan's pumpkin!

After drawing a face on the pumkin with a marker, Nathan carefully carved his pumpkin using his pin-punching skills from preschool.

Mathew, who decided the carved pumpkin was a lot like his shape sorter toys, started shoving the carved out pieces back in place.

I carved pi on my pumpkin... pumpkin pi! I'm such a geek.

Nathan's finished pumpkin! He was so proud of his work!

Unlike his dad and brother, Mathew has no problem reaching inside a pumpkin.

A rare picture of just me and Chris.

Me and Boo-Boo.

Christine and the boys.
