What is it about taking a large vegetable and cutting a picture in while eating its roasted seeds that is SO stinkin fun?  I was pumped to find some little carving tools at Wal-mart the other day so I could acutally let my kids carve this year.  Last year we just made faces out of paper and yarn for hair etc.  (also we were in Vanuatu and didn't feel that we could use a source of food as a decoration).
Here are some pics of our creations.  And we plan on doing more in a week or so!  So many designs so few pumpkins! :)
