Pumpkin Carving

Our garden gave us a LOT of gourds and pumpkins. We have about 10 in our front yard. Steve has been dying to carve them for a while, but we haven't found the time. Last night, we started the carving before it was too late.

Steve gets pretty serious about the carving. Triangle eyes and a half moon mouth just won't do in our house.

The first is a wildcat, our school mascot. It is now in my classroom scaring the first graders.

Then there's the cyclops. Everyone needs a cyclops pumpkin, right?

Apparently, everyone HAS to carve a pumpkin each fall so I had to carve something. I decided on a more girly pumpkin with a W and spirals....created by a drill!

3 down...7 more to go....
