party!
We had a *stack* of people over here on Sunday night. 25 or so. This get-together accomplished two purposes: 1) it was our 2nd annual pumpkin-carving extravaganza with the Gardners (and expanded to friends and family from all over), and 2) it was a great opportunity to show off our house, to give everyone the “tour” at once. =)
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, so I won’t spend time talking about the shindig. (I disagree with that saying, by the way.) Here are some photos:
The first bunch
Trogdor rage (he did a Trogdor pumpkin)
Racoon rage? (she did a racoon pumpkin)

my very favorite pumpkin design – James’ Zim and Gir. isn’t this amazing?!
Most of us. Check out James’ head (on the coffee table)!
WOW!!! Your Dad wants to know how they carved those pictures on the camera.
:)
That was crazy. I meant pumpkin, not camera. Too early in the morning and not enough coffee. Sorry. This is why I don’t leave comments.
They found things they liked online and printed them, then basically punched guide holes through the paper into the pumpkin. To get that effect with no cutting, they scraped the outside layer of pumpkin off instead of cutting it out. Does that answer Daddy’s question?
Yeah, but I got a good laugh out of it – please keep commenting! Lets me know that someone out there cares. =)
