Pumpkin Carving

Tonight we carved Pumpkins with my sister-in-law Kory and our nieces.  We went to a pumpkin patch and got to pick out our pumpkins.  Our nieces got tiny pumpkins and painted them, while the adults carved.

Cody and Steve gutting their pumpkins.

Cody wanted to carve a diesel truck, so I found a picture of one online and played with the black and white saturation. It turned out great!
Kory told the boys before started that she'd kill them if they broke her knives.  Not 10 minutes later I managed to break one of her knives in half inside my pumpkin! Whoops!

Cody's truck turned out really good, he used toothpicks to make the grill.  Unfortunately before I took this picture some of the grill caved in.

I started out carving a really cook spider in a web, but quickly learned the web was too intricate for me.  The carving kit we bought came with a book of patterns, so I ended up just picking one of them.
