Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving is pretty big in our household.  The kids usually pick out a pattern that I carve but they help scoop out the pumpkins.  Lorelai has been carving her own the last two years.  I think she's soon ready for more complicated patterns.  

She was determined to do the whole thing all by herself.  Lorelai did an awesome job!

Scarlet is so dainty as she removes the pumpkin guts

Lorelai's finished pumpkin

Scarlet wanted an Elsa pumpkin (OF COURSE!)

I was going to make Joseph a Spiderman pumpkin but after he saw Lorelai's scary face jack-o-lantern, he kept saying, "No, I want a SPOOOOOOOOKY pumpkin."  So this is the face he picked

This is Joseph trying to explain that his pumpkin is "SPOOOOOKY"

Evelyn loves her Wonder Woman!

With all that's going on in the world, we decided to go a little patriotic with some of our patterns

Trump 2020 baby!

Our pumpkins all in a row...

Just when I thought I was done carving I found out Joe's work had a pumpkin carving contest to be judged by the patients.  This is one of the hardest pumpkins I've ever carved.  So intricate!  I can't feel my fingers but our entry is doing well in the contest so far.  We find out at the end of the week who wins!
