Pumpkin Carving Fun

This year, Justin can not say that he carved all of the pumpkins like he did last year. Tyler and I helped him some. Garrett wanted no part in carving the pumpkins. His favorite part was picking out his pumpkin from the pumpkin patch at church and then picking out the design he wanted on his pumpkin. Garrett decided he wanted Justin to carve the pirate skull in his pumpkin. We had to bribe Garrett with a treat so we could get a picture of him gutting his pumpkin. Tyler had fun with the whole experience of pumpkin carving this year. He picked out the biggest pumpkin he could find by himself. Tyler even had fun gutting his pumpkin. He thought it was cool to clean out his pumpkin. Tyler wanted a pirate pumpkin just like Garrett. Justin had to help some with the little details of Tyler's pirate pumpkin.

I choose a cool veregated pumpkin this year. I liked the combination of orange and white, though Justin still prefers plain orange pumpkins. I decided to carve a happy face in my pumpkin. Justin said it was very fitting after I was done. Justin decided to carve a little goblin in his pumpkin. I thought Justin's design was very fitting of his personality.

Overall, we had a good time carving pumpkins. It will be interesting to see what everyone chooses next year.
