PUMPKIN MANIA!

We had a pumpkin carving party at our apartment Friday. We did it last year too, but it was a little bigger this year. I made invitations and we invited a lot more people. My friend Tammy gave me the idea that we should vote so we did! I made up little prize bags for the winners. It was really fun and we're so glad that so many of our friends came to play with us! Smiling like my cute little pumpkin. Josh is in the background and Kristy is conveniently hiding behind his arm. . .

I have to admit it was a little scary with Josh stabbing that pumpkin right in front of me. But I think I scared him just as muh once I started carving. Josh and Kristy's pumpkin won SCARIEST and BEST PUMPKIN! They were so nice to give away one of their prizes to some of us who didn't win 2 categories.

Chaly, Cam, Matt and Laci carving away. Chaly did a cute running shoe on hers and won most creative.

Collin with the big row of pumpkins. I have to mention that Jess and Morgan's pumpkin also won BEST--but they had to leave early so we delivered their prize later.

What a cute group (of pumpkins AND people!)

Here we are with our awesome creations. I was very impressed that Collin actually made a pirate pumpkin. I had underestimated his artistic abilities! :) Mine was really simple and that's how I like it!
