Its The Great Pumkin

the other day we went out and got a pumkin to carve for Halloween...well we got a dozie!!

my daughter got pencil and paper and worked out a plan as my son got out the knife,,, took them a lot of scooping to clean it out and then longer to carve, but hard work is rewarded!

here are a few running pics of the beast in making!
