Carving Pumpkins

We carved some fantastic pumpkins this year for Halloween. Mine was more like a gourd than a pumpkin, but we didn't really have anything else to carve besides the huge monster Patrick chose to carve. Both wonderful specimen were compliments of mom's garden. I was done with mine in about 5 minutes, but Patrick's masterpiece took about 45 minutes of carefully thought out cuts and measurments :) Then we got to the picture taking....

Patrick's pumpkin was about 5 inches thick!




The end results....don't worry, nobody lost fingers in the process :)
