Default Pumpkin

I carved this pumpkin for my son's class. He is in grade 5 and I went to the school today to drop it off. The teacher had me talk to the kids about how I carved it.
This is the fourth year doing this and the kids relay enjoy it. On Friday they will come to school wearing their costumes and the best costume in the class gets the pumpkin.

Thanks for the complements. The class was very exited to see the pumpkin and my son said some of the kids asked him last week if I was going to carve a pumpkin this year.
Chuck kids need to learn they can't have everything. Their will be disappointments all their life and it would be better to learn how to handle some of the disappointments when their young.

Awesome pumpkin! I remember wearing my costume to school for hallowe'en as a kid. It was always great fun. Glad to see the tradition is still alive.
