Fall Festivities

My oh so simplistic masterpiece


Katie's girly pumpkin with botox


John's scary dude


Mmmm...I love fall & pumpkin season. John & I went to a pumpkin patch & chose our gourdy gems. It was as good as a pumpkin picking experience should be. It included hot chocolate, a ride on a tractor trailer, fresh apple cider & an endless patch of pumpkins. We saw all kinds: small, large, bumpy, freakin enormous, rotten, and so many still on the vine! We found our perfect picks & were ready to carve.

Today John, Katie & I threw down the newspaper & carved away. We all took ours in different directions & it was so fun to laugh about how in the 80's our parents just gave us sharp knives and now the stores are stocked with child-safe carvers. But hey, we all still have our fingers.

I hope you enjoy our pumpkins. Everyone should really try to take time to carve one. I have been doing it since childhood & I believe it will never get old.

But now comes the fun part: We need you to decide whose pumpkins rock harder. Robby & Courtney's or ours. (Now don't get mislead by theirs because they used pumpking carving stenciling kits, while we used pure creativity & talent...sweat...tears...) So let the voting begin & share your true feelings. Let the best pumpkin win!

My vote's on the traditional "pumpkin head" theme. While Robby and Courtney's are very detailed, I have to stick with family ties! They're GREAT!!
I'm carving my two tonight.

Actually, they were absolutely no stencils at all...if you can find a stencil of the Cleveland Browns Dawg, I'd love to see it.

Im actually hurt that you would assume we cheated...all that was in the 2 dollar kit was the carving knives and toothpicks.

but i had to vote, just so we wouldnt lose. 1 to 1.
