Pumpkins

So we did a little pumpkin carving last week. It started out as a family gathering and ended with just me Hunter and Morgan finishingup the pumpkin carving a day later.



I found something that makes scooping out the inside of a pumpkin a BREEZE. Use a metal ice cream scoop. They are sharp and just the right shape for scooping. It worked great.

This pumpkin says Hunskiez in case you might be wondering. It's Hunter's new logo for himself.

And Morgan carved the cat pumpkin all by himself. He picked out the pattern and punched it out and then cut it out. I was pretty impressed. I don't think I would have been able to do that when I was 10.

Here is the final product

I found out that once they are carved, pumpkins have a very short and unstable shelf life in a warm house. On Mine ( it's the one that says Casey) The words caved in by the very next morning. And Morgan left the lid on his which grew black mold and lots of it after only 2 days.

When I was coming in from the storage room where I was looking for the paints in my art things for this pumpkin creation, I saw something drop down on the wall.

It was this humongous black widow. Don't worryI killed it first before I picked it up, but even knowing it was dead I was totally creeped out and I have been on spider patrol every minute since then. The thing was HUGE!!!
