Pumpkin Carvin'

Mommy did at least three wonderful things this morning.
She let daddy sleep in until the clock started with a 9 (woo hoo!)
She brought back a hot chocolate from Tim's for when he woke up
She moved in the pumpkins from outside so that they'd be warm for when we carved them.
Big C returned from his sleepover just in time for some carving. He was awesome. He listened well and put his hands on top of daddy's to do some carving. He was sooo impressed with the final product. Here he his checking out his handiwork.
Monkey got in on the action shortly afterwards. He did all of the drawing for 'Smallmouth'. The cubist influences are clearly present in this stage of his life.
Daddy had his piece of work to do for the annual pumpkin challenge and decided to use the mystery pumpkin that grew in the backyard this summer. Here is the 'winner' known as 'Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde'.
Unfortunately my competition had to withdraw from the competition this year, but alas, it brings on my two favourite words.
De
Fault.
The kids had a great time carving. I'm sure once we get trick or treating that will face into a distant second for the day. Maybe third.
Here are the three jack o'lanterns together. What a fun morning.
