Homage to the Great Pumpkin, Linus

We revived the annual pumpkin carving this year. It was a pretty small turnout, but as usual the finished product was so better lit up with candles than I expected during the carving.

We tried something different this year, POWER TOOLS!!  Craig and I got these neat, warty pumpkins which turned out to be quite thick skinned and really hard.  I was planning on using the Dremel drill anyway, which was a good thing as this pumpkin was way too hard for hand carving.

 Mary and Jack were purists and did theirs the old-fashioned way and were still done in half the time it took Craig and I.
