Pumpkin Carving 2008

Even though we are still in the hotel I wanted the kids to be able to carve pumpkins. The owner of the hotel bought us three pumpkins (very sweet of her). She set up a table in her back dining hall as there is no space in our rooms to carve a pumpkin. She even said to keep what we carved and their cook would make pumpkin soup for us. So the kids carved away. This is the first year I have not had to help someone scoop out a pumpkin or help carve the design. It was kinda sad actually. Then I did not even get a picture of Matt or Meagan's finished pumpkins as they put them outside the hotel. Dan brought his up and put it in our window. Matt later moved his to our window as well but I never did take a picture. So here is our pumpkin night.We had to borrow a knife from the cook to cut the top. Dennis did the cutting of the tops as the knife was very sharp and we did not want a trip to the emergency room!

It took forever to get the pumpkins finished because of all the joking around and just being silly. At one point I looked at Dennis and he looked like he was going to fall asleep.
