Pumpkin Carving

The boys and I carved pumpkins this evening.  I waited until the last minute to pick up some pumpkins so when I went to the farm stand they only had small pumpkins or large rotten ones.  I chose the smaller pumpkins and picked up 6 small pumpkins and 3 gourds for $15.00.  That is a great deal for us because in past years  I have been known to go overboard and have spent way too much money on pumpkins.

Benny and I carved "classic" pumpkins.  Or at least that is what Jacob called them.  Jacob made "new age" pumpkins and did an alien and a penguin.  

George helped out by eating a slice of pumpkin pie.  

Here are some pictures from the evening.  Luckily I did not cut myself with the knife I was using - George did not think I was being careful!
