carving pumpkins

as we do every year, we carved pumpkins for the front porch.  we learned several years ago that it was much easier when you use power tools.  and luckily for me, since i do not use power tools, i am the official photographer of the event ;)  we started our project right after breakfast and i let the girls keep their pajamas on since i knew we would probably need to change by the time we were done.  the girls looked at a book and picked out their mouths, nose and eye shape and i tried my best to replicate it on to the pumpkin for jeff to cut out.

this one had a bow on the side of her head.

this is the picture to prove kevyn was there.  she wasn't really into getting her hands messy, so she opted to color her picnic table instead :)
