tis' the season to carve pumpkins

This pumpkin carving season was spent at M and R's house. They had bought a huge 106 lb pumpkin at the pumpkin patch and they wanted R to work his magic on it.

The long hard process began. One of the hardest parts was getting upstairs from the garage.

The other hard part was finding a knife sharp enough and big enough to cut the top off...

But they finally did it.





While N and J...

cut out the insides.





Next, the master artist began his final task...cutting out, shaving off, trimming up the pumpkin man...



He created a self portait.

The FINAL PRODUCT!

Everyone else had lots of fun too. N made his own pumpkin man... He did everything all by himself.

The proud creator showing off his handiwork.

And C... well, he got in on the activity too...

... he considered helping, but...

after finding the candy... he was conviced otherwise.
