It's pumpkin carvin' time!

We carved our pumpkins very late this year compared to most years. Most years we do it too early and our pumpkins are rotten, stinky and caving-in well before Halloween arrives. We "attempted" to shave/engrave our pumpkins. I sketched our designs...the kids picked...and Nick and I shaved them. We actually did a decent job of shaving, but poor Rachel's pumpkin is supposed to be a frog (exactly like one of her shirts), but it's VERY hard to tell what it is. So, we were a little disappointed in the outcome, but I think we'll try the shaving thing again next year...with an actual pattern this time. These are obviously pre-shaved...I still have to take a pic of them afterwards. The kids were very excited, though, as you can tell. Trent didn't care too much, he just walked around and played.
