Jesse again came away from the night the pumpkin champ. On our second trip down pumpkin carving lane Erica, Nate, Melia, Spencer, Jesse, and I all carved pumpkins, not everyone finished, but we all started. The evening began with make your own pizzas, yum!, and some Christmas planning, weird I know. Then we got things set up for the carving. Dad and Mom played with the kids and watched as we gutted and scraped, poked, and cut. Most of us tried following a pattern, but Spencer informed us that was not using our creativity and he hand sketched a design and carved it out. He then reminded us several times he was better than us. I took the longest, but I did finish, it isn't as good as Jesse's and I hate that! Erica quit and Jesse ended finishing hers. Nate finished and threw his own flair into the design. Melia didn't quit, she would like to point out, but she didn't finish, we will see if she does later. Spencer obviously did and his is unique. Then there's Jesse. Mr. Perfect. How he is so good at this I will never know. This is the first year we have carved together, so he hasn't had a lot of practice. However, it is kind of addicting and now we want to do more. I wonder if we can do Christmas pumpkins?
