Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins for family night last Monday and they turned out pretty good, too bad they didn't last very long, next year we are carving 2 days before Halloween so they'll last! From left to right: Damien, Preston, Sara, and Jason (in case you can't read it, Jason's pumpkin says BOO, but Preston decided to knock out the middle of both O's and the bottom of the B, what a swell kid!)Preston modeling his pumpkin. He got a real kick out of the light we put inside his pumpkin and would try and blow it out like a "happy cake" (aka: birthday cake) but what he didn't quite catch was that the light was one of those fake LED flame ones, it was pretty cute watching him sing "happy cake" and try.Here's Damien and his pumpkin. We decided that it looks kind of like Jack Skeleton from Nightmare Before Christmas but only happier. He slept through everything and decided to wake up when all the hard work was done. What a baby! (before this shot, he was smiling and happy, but whenever we pull out the camera, he gets his deer-caught-in-the-headlights-look, he is definitely not digging the camera, oh well, tough...)
