On Monday we carved pumpkins for family night. Now these weren't just any pumpkins these were a very large pumpkin (Chloe's) and a gigantic pumpkin (Tanner's). These pumpkins were grown at Landon's parents house. Tanners pumpkin was so big that we Landon had to get a wheel barrow to take it to the car. He said he thought it was at least 70 lbs. It is almost as big as Tanner and definately weighs more than he does. My dad was joking that it cost us $5 in gas just to bring it home. The kids had fun removing the pumpkins insides. Then it was time to carve. Tanner wanted to do a 2 face on his Landon helped in draw one. Chloe insisted on doing Belle on hers. This was of course the hardest pattern in the book labeled as challenging. Tanner wanted to cut his this year so we let him have a go at it, he did pretty good except for the sides were so thick that Landon had to help him get all the way through it in spots. Chloe wasn't really that into the carving she mostly just rode her bike around while I did it. She would come help poke out the pieces occasionally. The finished products look pretty good. The kids were really excited to get lights in them.

They look so good. Cody and I had our kids pick easy ones because our carving tools weren't very good. My kids weren't really that into it this year Saydee more then Gavin. I can't beleive how big Tannners is. Gavin would probably fit inside hehe.
Holy cow - I don't remember seeing that huge pumpkin! I see that you have to use boards to make them stand up! The carving looks great - we just did ours yesterday, but they were much easier patterns than the ones you did! Makele and Jack did the same thing as Chloe - just kind of played around us - Jack wouldn't even put his hand in to dig out the insides!
The picture of the two-face one glowing looked really cool. Good job. I'm sure Chloe's looked good too I just couldn't see it as well.
