Remember this pumpkin from our garden?
Chris did his marathon carving session Friday night with a little help from a four year old assistant.
Just wait until you see the rest of our 20+ pumpkins. They are fabulous!! My contribution this evening consisted of making roasted pumpkin seeds.
1. Carve your hole in the bottom. Martha was right after all.
2. Use a string of large white Christmas lights under the pumpkins when displaying them in the yard.
3. Save your hands and use rubber gloves when cleaning out the pumpkins.
4. The cheap pumpkin carving kits available in the grocery stores work really well, but put duck tape around the handles of the carving utensils for a better grip.

OH MY WORD! He did a fabulous job! I didn't know that you were married to a professional pumpkin carver! Holy cats! Those are soooo cool and will be the perfect addition to your party!
The pumkins are great! We just use Sharpie markers on ours. Long gone are the days when I carve pumpkins!
Wonderful pumpkins...love the picture of the kids in the pumpkin patch - too cute. Carving 20 of them...wow!
Wow! 20 pumpkins?! Your husband did an amazing job! He is quite an artist!
I have to say... that skeleton pumpkin is amazing. That would win our neighborhood carving contest easily.
Those pumpkins are so cool. Enjoy your party tonight.
