Pumpkin Carving

We challenged our neighbors to a pumpkin carving contest last night. There were snacks and drinks, of course...




We took a quick break for "It's a Great Pumpkin" when some raindrops unexpectedly fell...


Finally, carving time! These two girls are such buddies.


I think Mike was really afraid he'd lose. He didn't think it was fair that I was the only judge. :)



Gordon really got into it!



Mary Helen put me to shame...











Caroline wanted a Minnie Mouse pumpkin...




Somebody set William loose with a knife (!) ....



We took a quick dinner break for hot dog mummies and sweet potato fries...


The neighbors' pumpkins...





The Clark pumpkins...



Next up: a fire in the pit and toasting marshmallows!



We're reconvening this afternoon for a chili dinner and trick or treating through the neighborhood. I love this weekend!!!
