Pumpkin Season!

After letting our pumpkins sit outside for a week, we finally carved them yesterday! We have started a little tradition here in Kansas -- every Halloween we carve pumpkins with Karrie and Austin. It's a lot of fun doing the festivities with another couple. Enjoy the pictures!

As you can see, Austin was hard at work carving their pumpkin.
Karrie taking out all the lovely guts!
I'm not sure...
This was the thickest pumpkin I've ever carved.  Just look at the top part right there!
Eric was the only one who didn't trace a picture.  I guess his creative juices were flowing!
Look how cute we are!
I love how focused all of us are on our pumpkins. 
Traditional "gut" picture. I may have lost my pumpkin's guts...or I forgot to take the picture? You decide.
After much time carving, here are the finished products! From left to right: Eric's, mine, and Karrie and Austin's. 
And because Eric's pumpkin just looked like two slits, we had to get some light on the pumpkins. 
Pumpkin face and Iron Man. 
And of course, here they are on our porch. I love having a porch and being able to put our pumpkins there! I can't wait until we have an actual house.
