Carving Pumpkins

With Halloween approaching we decided to do pumpkin carving with our neighbors just down the street from us. They had little children and we figured it would be more fun that way. My family had always used a sharpie and a kitchen knife to do pumpkin carving but the Dennis' were that way. They used pumpkin carving kits and stencils. I figured we could try doing it the Dennis way this year since it was a big deal for Marc and I didn't really care. It was a lot of fun! We did Sesame Street characters and our pumpkins were Bert and Ernie. Holly ended up doing basically both of her kid's pumpkins but it was a fun night filled with a LOT of pictures.
