Last week we got together for our second annual Punkin’ Carving party.  If you don’t remember last year’s pumpkins, you can see them here.

The pumpkin choices in the field this year were a little bit slim, but we managed to find enough good ones. Thanks to the McFarland’s for the pumpkins. We let the kids paint their pumpkins. Corbin and Jayci really went to town.  I think Corbin’s has so many layers of paint that it weighs an extra couple pounds.

Once we got the kids to bed, we got down to business ourselves.

Cami didn’t carve this year. She was too busy making me some roasted pumpkin seeds. She just loves digging through the punkin’ guts to find the seeds.

Here are the entries from this year.  I’ll start with mine, of course.  It doesn’t quite top my Frankenbaby or dragon from last year, but I was short on time (got called to work for a bit), so I had to simplify a bit this year.

Brett found an interestingly shaped pumpkin and got creative with it.

Tom got a little excited carving his.

Here is Cortney’s.

Kaycee’s.

Stephanie did this one for Brundle.

Jayci’s preschool went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Siblings were welcome to come so it made for a fun morning for me and the kids. Here are just a couple of pictures.

Both of the kids loved driving this tractor. They felt so big.

Jayci absolutely loved this hay maze. She insisted on taking her brother in there with her one time, then found it wasn’t too fun to wait for him and ditched him. How sweet!

Getting ready to pick a pumpkin and the final result. Good thing neither of them are looking at me anymore.
