Pumpkin Carving Party

Last Friday, we had some people over from the Supreme Court to carve pumpkins. Here are 4 of the resulting jack-o-lanterns.


Here I am, in the middle of carving out all the teeth on my skull. We cleared out a lot of the family room (easier because we don't have our couch yet) and put down newspaper. Then everyone sat on the floor to carve.


Here you can see Brian getting into the detail work on his second pumpkin.


Brian's coworker, Vincent, had never carved a pumpkin before. Here is his first jack-o-lantern ever. It was a little scary to watch him with the knife (I guess I didn't describe the proper technique very well) and I thought he might cut open his hand, but there was no blood spilt.

What a fun time! And the results are amazing. And it's always good to have people over. Thanks for sharing.

We had a warm evening, but fewer kids out trick-or-treating this year. -Dad

That ship is really great - it makes me want to play pirate's cove.
