Pumpkin Carving!!!!!!

Last friday Nate and I hung out with Taylor and Kristin and did a little pumpkin carving. We had a lot of fun. I have to admit, pumpkin carving with my husband can get very frustrating...... It took like 2 hours for him to decide on what he wanted to carve. It came down to colonel Sanders from KFC, no thank you, and a gremlin. I chose the gremlin. The only problem was we didn't have an pattern to copy, so Nate freehanded the whole thing. I think it turned out pretty good.
Then Taylor busted out his power tools and we took everything to the next level. It wasn't as messy as we thought it would be so that was great, but I was in charge of making the gremlin look like one after the pumpkin had such harsh treatment. It was a tough job!

Kristin was in charge of carving their pumpkin. They started and finished theirs in half the time it took us, but that's because I'm married to Nate and he likes to take his time!

We were pretty proud of the final product. Too bad it looks horrible and deformed already!!! It only lasted a couple days... oh well, we had fun carving it!

Ok, I believe that using power tools to carve your pumpkin is against the rules. You might want to consult me next year. :) Great Job!!!

Hey, Nick wants me to tell Nate that he has been taking guitar lessons for a couple months now and is getting pretty good. Next time we see you he will be able to give Nate a run for his money.
