The men (including Jacob) went and collected all of the pumpkins. In the picture above Jacob poses in the classic wagon and pumpkin picture.
Jacob was so exited to carve his pumpkin, Jessica had previously talked to him about how it would not hurt the pumpkin... good job Jess! (Jacob is a very sensitive child)
Grandpa was very careful with his knife making sure to watch his hands like he taught us as kids!
Jacob was fine with letting Grandpa clean out the pumpkin but Dad finally got him to stick his hand inside!! Grandpa can get Jacob to do anything!
Pumpkin caving without eating the insides just does not happen in this house.... At least with Dad.... When we were kids Grandpa and Dad would do this all the time to us, it is only fair to do it to Jacob too!!
Jim has to continue the tradition!!! Making Daddy Proud!!
Jimmy and Rachel made an amazing Carving... it only took 4 hours....
Richie and Rachel S. decided to create Optimus Prime!!! Very creative and it actually turned out to look like the picture!
Now i decided to go "out of the box" and create something that has not been done before... So I decided to carve my sister Rachel's face on it!!! Go me! It looked exactly like her and used much talent in the process of carving!
Grandpa spent a lot of time hanging out with Derek during this project!
Jessica here is making sure to wear her plastic gloves to protect her from the pumpkin goo!
Grandma and Grandpa are very impressive when it comes to pumpkins, they grew and carved very well!!
Jim and Rachel had a very interesting method while carving...to take up as much space as possible.. I also think it is very smart how one person is getting the goo out of the pumpkin while the other is getting started on the carving! Good time management!
For some reason Jacob thought he had to go cross eyed while holding this piece of his pumpkin... SUPER CUTE!
Grandpa helped Jacob carve his pumpkin. It took a total of 20 min!! Speedy and effective!
The ground was covered with garbage bags so we could try to keep the floor clean... It almost worked...
Jim is very picky when it comes to this... he took FOREVER! But it looked great in the end!!
Rachel tried to pick up the pumpkin... not a good idea.....
Cute picture! I think they were sad to see this pumpkin get old and moldy, they were very attached and once the fungus came they had no choice but to throw it in the garbage. That was a very sad day for them.
This here is the #1 pumpkin for sure!!
Jessica worked hard and turned out an amazing and artistic creation!!
Richie and Rachel S. were very diligent and made a very scary pumpkin... it almost looks like a spider which is pretty terrifying if you ask me...
Rachel and Jim turned out an amazing pumpkin!! It looks awesome!
They were very connected with their pumpkin.
