Last night, Josie's Uncle Aaron, Aunt Katie, and Buddy Charlie came over to carve pumpkins with her.

My brother and Charlie are both artists, so I tried to get Josie to choose to be their partner for carving, but she didn't take my advice and ended up with me.

I can work some magic with a can of spray paint, but I quickly learned I need to work on my pumpkin carving creativity!

I hadn't carved a pumpkin in well over 15 years.

I knew I was in trouble when I glanced over and noticed Charlie was making a draft of what his pumpkin was going to be.

And when Aaron requested a power tool and made shavings on his pumpkins beard, I knew my pumpkin was going to be pretty wimpy.

Our pumpkin was closed up and lit about an hour before Aaron and Charlie wrapped theirs up!

But Josie was proud of our little Jack'o Lantern and that's all that matters to me!

haha your posts crack me up!

yours was very FUN!

that is amazing; people that can do the pumpkin art always intrigue me. I think if i had lots of time to sit down and think it through I could come up with something but getting it to look like that on my pumpkin is another story!!! lol

great fun!
