Pumpkin Carvin'

FYI:  This is my 3rd post today!!  Scroll down to see all that is going on!!!

Tonight we carved THE pumpkin.  The boys have both been drawing "sketches" of what they thought it should look like for days.  So, we decided that everyone would get to design one part of the pumpkin.  Blake and Evan each designed 1 eye, I got to decided on the nose, and Travis did the mouth.  Here they are working on the sketches...(only an architect and his sons would draw plans for the pumpkin :)


Here they are with the design on the pumpkin...

They couldn't wait to get their hands in the guts!


Evan checking out the inside, and yes, he is wearing his underwear!

The final product.  I think it turned out pretty original!


Out on the porch for a trial run!!

We had so much fun tonight doing this project together.  The boys are finally old enough to really help and not just watch.  Now we are looking forward to tomorrow...the combined family birthday party for the boys and trick or treating!!  Woo Hoo!!  (Then...a baby would be nice)!!!

So fun...we did this night before last. I might add that my artist son drew out his plans before digging in w/ the knife!
