We carved pumpkins today. Which basically means Noah stuck his hands in his a few times to pull out some seeds, and I spent the next two hours cutting and scooping.
This is Noah's pumpkin. He wanted a "bloody face." I think he got it. The picture didn't turn out when I tried without the flash. I think I need to put a brighter candle in it. Looks good in person though.
I decided to do an election theme with my pumpkins this year.
I still have our really big pumpkin to do, which will have Obama's face on it. I also need to finish up Kiel's pumpkin which has a happy face.
I got the patterns for the campaign-o-lanterns here.
I like the voting one - original!
ReplyDeleteQuite talented.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I like the campaign ones! You'll have to show the O-bama-lantern when you've got it done!! Here from Show & Tell.
ReplyDeleteWe have a huge pumpkin. Not sure when to carve it. Depends on weather. If we carve too early pumpkins goes black and eeewww. I like your "vote" pumpkin, not sure about the other one though...
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want to see the Obama one when you finish it.
ReplyDeleteLove them :) Great idea. I miss pumpkin carving.
ReplyDeleteCute!
