Our house at night - Trying to top last year's 3rd place finish in the decorating contest. They still haven't announced the winners of this year's contest yet...totally lame! I wanted to take the boys on a drive to see all the winners, but I'm guessing that most people will take their decorations down tomorrow :(
The day time look
I finally carved one of my foam pumpkins this year...this is supposed to be the Joker from the latest Batman video game (not that I know anything about gaming lol, but I thought he looked sufficiently creepy!).
Mitch & Sawyer starting to carve our thickest pumpkin EVER. Seriously, this thing was over 3" thick in some places!
Sawyer carefully using the pumpkin carving saw to cut the top off his pumpkin. He had so much fun drawing his own design (which was supposed to be a spider) and then just randomly carving the hell out of this little pumpkin.
A couple of our quickly carved pumpkins from the first night of carving. Sadly, I didn't get an entire group shot of all the pumpkins when they were finished :( I learned my lesson this year - gone are my days of carving intricate designs for hours while sipping a glass of wine...welcome to the world of ten minute carving with preschoolers! Two and three-year-olds require instant results!
Mitch carving a spider into the side of a pumpkin on night #2. His handy trick for carving the thicker pumpkins...use a drywall saw!
This kiddo really didn't want anything to do with carving stinky pumpkins. He was much more content watching baseball and playing the matching game on his Fisher Price camera :)
