A Little Pumpkin Carving

Saturday night we had some couples from our small group over to grill out and carve pumpkins. Matt worked so hard Saturday to get the fire pit ready so we could have it in the backyard, but it ended up just being too wet. So we moved the carving into the lovely garage. Nothing like bringing company into the garage. Yikes!! We had to twist the guys arms to get to carving because they were way more into watching football. Matt and David disappeared for a bit.. claiming they were "cleaning the kitchen"--whatever!!
Matt worked so hard on our pumpkin. The only thing he let me do was clean the guts out.. that is my favorite part though. Our design was of course a pirate for the Bucs!!

And here are the finished products. Drew worked so hard on his MS State pumpkin.. which turned out really good. We let Asher, who is almost 3, pick the winner. David totally brainwashed the poor kid and told him to pick the biggest one, which just happened to be him and Amanda's. It was rigged!! It was a great night of fellowship with good friends!!

Great job on the pumpkins!!
You and Matt should have done two pumpkins, so you could do a Bama one too! I do love the buccaneer though!

Geeze, you guys are some talented pumpkin carvers. I'm impressed! I usually am able to carve a triangle for the eyes nose and mouth.

Wow! I'm very impressed at some of those pumpkin carvings! We are just going to do the Mr. Potato Head parts again this year! Poor Raylin - she has such a boring Mama!

You are so crafty! Looks like fun. I have learned though that anytime a husband tells you he is "cleaning" anything...he is probably up to no good! :)
