Pumpkin Carving

We had a fun time on Friday night carving some pumpkins. We thought that it was getting about time, so we invited our families to join us. We did it at Jerusha's house. We wondered where we would find pumpkins for a cheap price, and at Broulims they had pumpkins they were selling by the pound, but we realized that we went there that the five dollar pumpkins at Walmart would be cheaper, at least for Russell, than buying them by the pound at Broulims. So, Jerusha got her pumpkin at broulims cause it was a little smaller and Russell got his at Walmart and it must have weighed at least 50 pounds.



We had a good time digging them out and getting Jerusha's parents kitchen all messy. Audrey was there and she enjoyed making her own unique pumpkins and Russell's sister joined us as well. Here are some pictures of Russell and Jerusha carving up their pumpkins.



Here are Russell and Jerusha's pumpkins. Russell decided to make and explosion from his pumpkin and Jerusha decided to do Zero from the nightmare before christmas. They both turned out pretty well actually, especially seen with the lights off, which unfortunately we couldn't photograph because it is so hard to hold the camera straight long enough to get a good picture. But here they are in the light.



Side story, russell's parents grew pumpkins in Colorado this year and they weighed them. They were so huge that some of them weighed up to 80 pounds. I know. Ginormous. Sadly, we have no pictures to show of them, because they were all stolen by someone at night, who will more than likely crush them on the road somewhere. Sad story. Still, those were some mighty big pumpkins.
