this afternoon when the kids came over, they brought their pumpkins… they are way bigger than mine, lol…

we had supper early and then got down to the business of carving…

this year we all scooped out the guts and seeds from the inside of the pumpkins… usually some people don’t want to get their fingers dirty…

went for simple designs this year as there were only three of us carving four pumpkins… great job by everyone…

they decided to leave the pumpkins here because they will all be out on Tuesday trick or treating…

works well for me because I haven’t brought out any of the Halloween decorations…

wrote this blog on carving pumpkins a few years ago and there are pictures of George working with the kids…

was thinking of him a lot as the younger boys and I worked away…

witch’s hat looks pretty cool…
