Carving Pumpkins

Jon and I decided that we would go back to our childhood traditions and carve pumpkins this Halloween. I have actually never done it before, but I found it fun. There is this moment, however, when you first get the pumpkin in front of you that you feel artistic doubt. What should I draw? How should I make the eyes? Once it is carved there is no going back. But we managed and here are the results. I borrowed my parents' camera.



Here is Jon's pumpkin. He did such a good job!















Here is mine. Not bad for the first try.













And here is a picture I found of my mom's birthday. We had her over for cake at our new house before it was fully done. It is an upside-down pineapple cake. A little sweet but good.



Till after the weekend!
