Photo Story Friday - the Making of a Jack-O-Lantern!

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek



Has it really just been a week since it was Halloween? Time sure flies!
Here is our ugly little pumpkin. Remember, it was the last one in town! We were lucky to get him, moldy spots and all!

Here is Princess covering the table with newspaper.

Time to scoop out pumpkin guts! Yummy - NOT! My stomach could just not tolerate the icky pumpkin smell this year. DadOf3 was promoted to head pumpkin carver.
Princess's turn to scoop out some pumpkin goop!

And now it is time for our little Knight to scoop. He was not too impressed!

Princess and DadOf3 plot the Pumpkin Pattern.

3 little helpers and a brave DadOf3 make the first cut.

The three little helpers took a break to watch It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. DadOf3 marches on!

DadOf3 makes the final cuts! It looks awesome!

It is a kitty cat on a tree branch!

It looks better in the dark. Great job, Pumpkin Carvers!!!!

The pumpkins on Halloween night! (The Prince decorated the little one in Kindergarten.)

That pumpkin looks great, and I can't even see the moldy spots!
I can't stand the smell either -- I stay back and take pictures.

You scoured the city for the last pumpkin and I didn't even try...oh, you make me look baaaaad.

Love the cat on the tree. And the little one is just perfect!

I love the googly eyes ion the little pumpkin. We never got to carving this year. As a matter of fact, I think there are still two little pumpkins in the back of my van.
