I love pumpkin carving. While I'm not exactly crazy about Halloween, I always have to carve a pumpkin each year (it's equivalent to turkey or a tree for me, you just have to do it!). Of course, we roast (and eat) pumpkin seeds while we're carving. Yum. Taylor is very creative with his designs, no triangle eyes for him! I generally try to stick to something easy - I'm a little bit a perfectionist, so my pumpkin needs to look neat when it's done. Last year I branched out a little and was pretty proud of how they turned out. Here are our pumpkins from last year:

I was worried about missing carving this year, but thankfully my sweet husband had two good looking pumpkins ready for us to carve when I got home from my trip last Sunday. Mine is the one on the left, Taylor's is on the right. Why did he choose the tall pumpkin instead of the pretty round one, you ask? Just check out his design!
B-e-a-utiful choices (straight from a pumpkin patch - okay, Central Market)
Taylor worked on his design quite a bit...you can tell what he was thinking about all weekend! Go Rangers!
Let the carving begin!
I decided to go with a classic design (read = easier). One year maybe we'll invest in "real" pumpkin carving tools instead of using kitchen knives!
The finished product!

They turned out pretty well if I do say so myself!
