Makin Punkins...

Sunday we decided to get the pumpkins off the kitchen table and do some carving.  GTL had bought the pumpkins a few days ago, which was very sweet considering he is not a fan, and we finally had a few minutes to get the deed done. 

We put some music on the Pandora and got to work.  What does one listen to when making a Jack-O-Lantern?  Urban Chill obvs. 

I got everything layed out and ready to go.  It was like surgery up in that piece. 

GTL really didn't carve a pumpkin when he was a kid, so I kind of have to show him how. 

Tops off!

So as we started to carve, he got about 3/4 of the way through getting all the goo out and quit to start carving. 

I didn't realize it until after he said he was done and I had to go back in to get out all the stuff he left behind so it wouldn't burn off.  Now I know what mom went through every year times three.

I am not too artistic when it comes to these sorts of things.  I usually just keep it old school.  So I sketched out a few ideas on the newspaper and got to cutting.

In the end, I was pleased with both of them, and GTL had fun, so it was a win win.  Here are the finished products.
