Pumpkin Carving

Ben wanted to create the image of HALO3 this year. He designed it himself to make all the letters the same size. You can see the various stages of his project in the next pictures. I think it took him three hours to complete but I believe the end result is awesome! Great job babe!





Doesn't this look great? ALL of Ben's Halo friends should immediately agree! :)
This is the pumpkin that I carved for Audrey. She told me exactly how to make it and had no reservations about correcting my work! Ben thinks hers is the scariest one!
Alexis carved her own pumpking this year. She even helped scoop out the seeds. Both Audrey and Alexis have major issues with pumpkin seeds. They won't touch them and have never helped scoop out until this year. I am surprised that Audrey still won't touch it because she is the girl who picks up dead and live worms all summer long and makes them houses.
This is my wonderful artistry. I used one of those stencils that you tape onto the pumpkin, poke some holes, and then carve. This one was hard because this wasn't a tall pumpkin so I had to squeeze it all in. It was so fun though. This is Ben and I's favorite part of Halloween. We love to carve pumpkins and make fun creations.
From this picture Audrey's does look a little freaky! :) I couldn't find a good picture of Alexis' pumpkin. She made a great scary one though.
