Pumpkin Carving 2010

Monday for FHE our ward was doing pumpkin carving. We of course had to go to add to all of our Halloween spirited Decor.

Here are my lovely roomies.... (Well, lovely most of the time anyway!)

Getting ready to start our glorious masterpiece!

Allie was brave enough to clean out the yucky pumpkin guts!

Our pile of pumpkin seeds to later make a tasty roasted treat!

I would like to applaude Allie's above average skills of "gut cleaning"

We made sure to put daniel to work. It took about an hour or so but boy the end result was the greatest creation! There are 3 different sides to the pumpkin. Daniel had declared that if we could draw it, he could carve it, and he sure held to his word! The first side are the words BOO! The second side is of a robot, a witch, and a ghost trick or treater. The third side is of a spooky tree with the moon and leaves blowing in the wind. Super cool! I am very impressed with the carving skills Daniel has and am so glad we now have the coolest pumpkin on the block!

Julie decided that she would be independent and carve her own pumpkin. So, here is Julie's cute pumpkin!

To avoid any pumpkin smashers the pumpkins are currently displayed INSIDE of our house. But, good news is that Allie and Kristen went on a cleaning hoorae and so our house is currently spotless! (I had about given up. Doing the carpets was a lot of work. Along with trying to keep on top of all the dishes that tend to pile up in the sink) And Allie took it to the next level by organizing everything in the kitchen! So the pumpkins add to our "newly cleaned/decorated" home. I think they might get to go outside on halloween night for the trick or treaters to enjoy... I mean, the spice girls house has to have carved pumpkins!

It was a super fun night and a traditional halloween activity. This saturday is full of fun as well. We have our room mate pictures, and then a ward activity where we will hit up the corn maze. On sunday we are also having friends over for a big roast dinner! Lots and lots of fun filled days are ahead!
