The Best Pumpkins Ever

Last night we made some pretty awesome pumpkins! Liam loved, loved, loved painting his pumpkin. About every minute, he'd look up and say, "I'm painting my pumpkins, Mom/Dad/Jamie." Wes's best friend Jamie is down here visiting from Washington so he got to carve, too. First, here is Liam in 'pumpkin paiting action.' You can tell he was really excited.He loved mixing the paint colors.The it was our turn to carve after Liam went to bed. This pumpkin is massive. There were lots and lots of guts.

Jamie said we had to do the hardwork before he'd help. ;)But he did. He did my carving for me.

And here are the finished products.
We didn't have a lot of faith in Wes that it would actually look like Obama's face, but when it was lit up, we were shocked!

Pardon Liam's face. I can't get this kid to stop talking even for a picture. He's a jabber box lately.
