A Day Carving Pumpkins

The only rule was that they had to pick a pumpkin they could carry. That way Tanner didn't pick one of the biggest ones he could find to make a fort out of it.


Let the goo slinging begin.


How do you like the slime?


Tanner chose a skull and cross bones pattern. And carved all but the final eye detail (it was a little trickier than he could do without popping the inner eye out).


Jordyn decided to make hers with three separate faces.


Shad, of course, had to make a HALO 3 Logo. Tanners finished Skull-n-Cross Bones. Carl with the sculpted pumpkin face. And the PI pumpkin for a party at work.

Tanner's, Shad's, Carl's and my pumpkins lit with candles.



All five of the pumpkins lit with candles. Tanner, Shad and Jordyn with the pumpkins.


Here is a photo of the pumpkins that the Kids and Carl carved after 5 days. The Halo one was "melting". Jordyns held up pretty well. Tanners was starting to come apart. (These were taken early Saturday morning before it started to rain. The candles in the bigger ones burned all night.
