Ashley takes the microphone! Anyway, we finally carved our jack-o-lanterns for Halloween
First of all, this one is Courtney's. She carved a bat, moon, and a star. Pretty cool if you ask me. She was obsessed with cleaning out the inside! She scraped at least a pound of goop from that pumpkin until it was so thin that Mom had to stop her before her pumpkin collapsed!
Now, here's Logan's. I'm not quite sure what it is, but he's very... possesive of it, carving his initials into it to drive in the point.
Here's "Matthew's" pumpkin. Mom practically did the entire thing except for Matthew "helped" by pulling the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin and then dropping them back in.
Now, the best for last... Drumroll please! Mine! This is the "Gaping Black Hole of Death Pumpkin." I didn't know what I was going to do for mine, so I drew a palm tree on it. It didn't turn out very well. Then I tried to make a swirl. It didn't work out either. So I started carving a peace sign. It broke, so I turned it into a circle. Then I expanded on that by making lots of holes.
