Default Pumpkin Carving

Show us your pumpkins.

I did this one up today and am hoping he'll hold up for Wednesday evening.

edit: Added a picture of him lit. I wanted to check him out in case I needed to thin the walls a bit. I might go back in and thin him out around the outside of his ears and forehead.

Cute! With the cool weather moving in, it should be OK for Halloween!

Speaking of PUMPKINS, there was a news shot of a kid in the Duluth area that planted pumpkins then trained the vines up a tree......he now has a "pumpkin tree" with pumpkins hanging from the branches!

I can't decide which one I like the best. I like the big pumpkin eating the small one, but the small one looking like he is trying to whistle is cute.

The small one whistling I carved last year for my sons grade two class. The child with the best costume took it home.
