Carving Creations

We were going to Kansas City for Halloween so our jack o' lanterns would not be on display Halloween night, but we wanted to make them anyway.  We decided we would just display ours a night early.  It is nice that the kids are old enough now to clean the pumpkins themselves.  That is definitely the worst part of the job.  
Sam did his pumpkin all on his own this year.  He decided to make a Minecraft inspired jack o' lantern and I think it turned out well.  He took his time making the design and then cutting it all out carefully.  Ella and I worked on her pumpkin together.  She and Sam found a soccer ball design on line and that is what we used to make her jack o'lantern.  It was my first time doing some scraping and I think it made the soccer ball look great!  We were all pleased with our creations and really enjoyed making them.
