Pumpkin Carving Fun

Over the weekend, we had some friends over for Pumpkin Carving (and baking) Fun!

We laid some table clothes and trash bags out in our driveway and got to work.  But after the mosquitos ate us alive, we decided to move the party inside.


At first, carving pumpkins seemed like a good idea.  But once we got into it, and it was messy and a little harder than we thought, each of us at one point said "Man, maybe we should have just put stickers on them'" or "hey, maybe that regular jack-o-lantern face would have been a better design." 


Those moments were short-lived, and once the pumpkins were carved, everyone was happy again and proud of what they had accomplished.

Adriana really is making the same face as her pumpkin!


Here are the finished pumpkins, all lit up. Don't they look great?!


And what party would be complete without baking some goodies.  We made brownies, but demolished them before I could even get a picture!  And here are the cute pumpkin sugar cookies all decorated.  The bottom one is supposed to look like Jillian (with a bow in her hair and no teeth, but still smiling)!!!


We had so much fun at our Pumpkin Carving Party.  And as great as these carved pumpkins are, I think this next pumpkin is my favorite one of all!
