Happy Halloween!

Saturday Bry and I decided to carve pumpkins! True to Bryan's personality just carving them on our own wasn't good enough; We had to get the special carving tool kit. As much as I harass him--he was right--it was more fun. I was quite impressed with my pumpkin choosing skills. Bry kept picking out the ones that tipped over so I took over and found two monster, perfect standing pumpkins. We took them home and Bry so graciously scraped out the insides for me.

















Bryan decided to take on one of the more advanced carvings. I'm sure you can guess which one is his. It took him a bit longer than me to finish. However I'm sure his defense will be that he did all the hard work on my pumpkin. :) After we finished we waited for it to get dark so we could test them out.





























They turned out pretty cute huh?!? I'm quite fond of my little bat. I don't think I have carved a pumpkin since I was in Girl Scouts back in about 3rd grade. It was a really fun thing to do together!

How fun! Alan and I are going to carve our pumpking tonight, though I'm not sure how it will turn out since we're going to a friends house and David and Ethan will be with us...

Ha! Dana and I did the same one as you Ashley. We weren't going for skill this year...we were going for fastest and least likely to cave in! Looks good.

I'm trying to decide what impresses me more: the pumpkin carving skills, or the fact that Bryan didn't lose a finger???
