Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

Since we have been married, Roger and I have continued the tradition of pumpkin carving that we had in our families growing up but put a little twist on it. Roger and I have pumpkin carving contests every year. This is about how it goes... 1) We talk ALL SORTS of smack. 2) We each choose a pumpkin. 3) We talk more smack. 4) We carve our pumpkins at opposite ends of the table (making sure the other doesn't see what we are carving)... all while talking smack.. 5) We light them up on the porch for a final viewing. 6) We both vote (for our own pumpkin, of course). 7) It is declared a tie (after lots of smack talk). 8) We kiss.
This year Brinley got to join in on the fun!

Brinley's fist pumpkin carving experience...

Daddy put some "guts" on her feet

She tried shaking it off

 She really didn't like it..

Let the drawing begin

 "Let me see, Daddy"

She was getting tired of carving...

Brinley's submission:

A self portrait carved into her pumpkin. :-)

Roger's submission:

 He used the top of his pumpkin as the front

It had a bad head injury

All lit up
