Paint by Number Pumpkin Carving

On Sunday night Ale and I carved our Halloween pumpkin. It was his first time ever carving a pumpkin. I cut open the top and scooped out all the "guts" and seeds because he didn't want to. I think that's the funnest part. Anyway...after I did that part, I turned the knife over to Ale and let him carve the pumpkin. He did a pretty good job for his first time. And when he was doing the mouth he wanted the grin to be even, so you will notice I took a couple pictures of him trimming the mouth up. I guess you can tell a lot from someone's smile?? I don't know. But the last two pictures are dedicated to Stacie, and you will see why when you see the pics.


Getting started...ha ha ha ha....


And so the journey begins....


Hard at work on his first pumpkin ever


Giving the pumpkin a second eye.


Ale deep in concentration. Nothing, I mean NOTHING gets in the way of him completing something, even if it's just a pumpkin.


He had a hard time getting that piece out.


But...he eventually pulled it loose.


Ale perfecting the grin


The finished product: Pierre the Pumpkin


YOU.


Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done
