Every year that we have been married, my dh always carves the pumpkin. I collected Pumpkin Masters books every year before we got married, had lots of pumpkin carving tools, but never got around to carving(and really I do not like it) so every year we get out the books and dh picks a challenging one and has a really neat creation when he is done. Well this year, he decided he wanted to do one that was considered easy because he really did not have a lot of time to spend on it. This is the one he picked. I still think it came out pretty neat though. Also Nicholas' class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch and they all got a small pumpkin. Nicholas carved his first pumpkin. I thought he did a great job.
