Pumpkin Carving Party

We set KK up at home with two seventh grade neighbor girls and we were off. I was very nervous leaving him but the girls did a great job. They had a little trouble getting him down but other than that they did a great job. We were home by eleven and they were both asleep. Super Great Kids!! We went to church and then headed to our friend's house for the party.

Amy, Bill and Candace getting dirty.

 This was the first time we had ever really attempted carving. Amy and I both used templates and began the detail oriented task. We were regretting the ones we chose half way through it.

 Here they are from left to right. The first one won third place. She decided to carve the outside of the pumpkin instead. Pretty cool idea!! Then came Amy's Pluto.

He is Pac-man which eventually took FIRST prize!!!! Took them a total of 5 minutes to do it. They said smarter not harder. I'll have to remember that next year.

 Here is my Goofy!!

Bill's is the breast cancer symbol with an E and D for my mom, Elyse and his friend, Dori.

 Candace and George did a great job too. Candace did the which and George did the haunted house. George actually got 2nd this year!!!

 Here are the other end which I did not end up getting very good pictures of at all. It was like I started off good but then there was so many that I fell off the wagon. I even think I didn't get a picture of the end one with hello kitty and the alien. Dooohh!!!

A small high school reunion. Had an absolute blast and was impressed with my carving skills. Thanks Krystal and Jimmy for the southern hospitality!!
