Pumpkin Carving

As you saw last year, our family has an Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. This year Roger's parents are in town and so Roger's dad Roger (confusing, I know!) joined in on the fun. Nanny was not interested in joining the contest so we made her bake rolls for us in lieu of her entry. DELISH!!
I would have to say that this year was the stiffest competition. The entries were intense. Check it out:

Brinley's entry was the most colorful

Roger for some help with his pumpkin

The men got serious

Apparently the paint was rather delicious

Nanny was the babysitter for the evening. She hated it. Can't you tell?

Grandpa and Daddy used the Dremmel (cheaters)

Daddy was rather quiet during carving... he was getting nervous!

Clean-up time!

And now to the final products...

Nanny's Entry -- delicious rolls!

Brinley's Entry

Daddy and Grandpa's Entries
(notice the creepy tree shadow behind Grandpa's.... spooky touch!)

Mommy's Entry

At the end, we were all supposed to write down TWO entries that we voted for in order to get a winner. I was going to tally up the entries (and cheat if I had to) and declare a winner. This was Roger's vote:

Love my man!

We ended up declaring it a five-way tie (as always).                                                                                                                         ... although mommy's was the best :-)
