Annual Heaton Pumpkin Carving!

Every year we have a pumpkin carving FHE with my mom's side of the family. We go to my Uncle Lowell's house and we have a soup pot luck and of course carve pumpkins then they usually ask a neighbor come over and judge for us but it's the kind of judging that everyone gets an award so it's all for fun anyway. Since Mike has been coming he brought in the "cheating" element as some might call it because he gets the books that have the designs in them and uses one of those for his pumpkin and since he started doing that more have follows suit but there are still a few purest out there that rely on their own artistic ability. Rory wasn't too much of a fan or the cleaning out the guts part but sure was exited to get to use the knife!(with help of course) Now keep in mind we did this the Monday before Halloween and I was hoping by keeping the pumpkins inside they would last till the main event but alas Friday morning Mike's pumpkin had liquefied all over my counter and Rory's wouldn't stand up any more so we had to throw them out just hours before their debut, sorry maybe next year, but at least we have pictures to prove it!
