Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday Jesse brought Teagen over to carve pumpkins with us. (Jori wasn't feeling well so she stayed home) It was so nice to have them come visit though. We had a blast! Its nice being able to hang out with the Laws up here. On our way to get the pumpkins Jesse informed us he hadn't carved a pumpkin in 12 years!!! We were impressed though with his results!

Tegean all ready to go and get some pumpkins!

He was walking stiff legged to the car. He's silly!

To go and get a pumpkin you had to walk under this huge blow-up black cat.

Brent trying to find the perfect pumpkin
Jesse and Teagen found theirs...

There it is...He found it! Pretty much your choice of pumpkin was large or Huge!


Finding some cool carving knives to use...
Cutting away at the pumpkins
Ha ha you gotta love the slimy feel of the inside of a pumpkin!
Teagen was a little nervous to stick his hand in the pumpkin..so he decided to just feel the seeds instead that were already out. He pulled his hand away just about as fast as he touched it.
Examining how to draw the face...
Teagen wanted his daddy to do a "happy face". Dad convinced him to do a scary because than it would scare people when they came trick-or-treating!
Here's Teagens view of what the pumpkin will look like!
Pretty close eh...??
Here is Brents. He decided to go with the happy face...It seemed fitting for the time.
The boys with their pumpkins! Thanks for coming Jess...we had a blast!
