Pumpkin Carving with the Roommate:-)

Last weekend was the perfect pumpkin carving day...crisp weather and the leaves were bright (of course nothing compared to good old NH, but at least there are leaves here!). We were quite picky with our pumpkin choices (just as I am with my Christmas tree choice ....Dad knows this well:-) We found a few that would have to do...seeing as how it was 5 days before Halloween.

We may have been a little reckless...no adult supervision resulted in three small injuries I believe. No worries...no trips to the hospital:-)

OK, so the face is just an act...this is my favorite part of pumpkin carving! Alli brought out spoons but I had nothing to do with those useless tools!

Yes...you do see a hammer in Alli's hand. This year we took our inspiration from Marth Stewart and got a little creative by stepping away from the traditional face carving.

The final products! They looked very cool lit up but our cameras wouldn't take a good shot of them without the flash. We used cookie cutters and a hammer of course...it was actually really fun! I was excited to not have to worry about having the nose and mouth cave in because I cut them too closely.
