Last year we didn't do anything for Halloween, so I decided that this year I wanted to do SOMETHING festive. I think the scariest happening in our lives last year was Anthony walking around the house nude! What's more festive than carving pumpkins? So for our family home evening tonight we got down and dirty with some gourds. Here are the fruits of our labors!
My handsome hubby cutting his punkin with our newly purchased electric pumpkin carver. He quickly decided that our basic kitchen knives were not suitable for this task and we had to make a special trip just for this. They didn't have the basic pumpkin carver so we had to go for the deluxe version!
Our final pumpkins. If you look closely you can see the hair that I carved on mine.
This was my project for my class two weeks ago. I was quite happy with the way it turned out. I took it to work and everyone was quite impressed. This was a chocolate cake with a peanut butter frosting filling. VERY TASTY!!!
