Carving the Best Pumpkins EVER!!!

We had a pumpkin carving party at the house on Saturday afternoon.  

Costumes were welcome.

Mason as Harry Potter, Aaron the skeleton, Madison the witch and Penelope the black cat.  Vivian was sleeping.

Witch with her black cat.

Harry Potter conjured up a glow-in-the-dark skeleton.

Adorable witch.

Adorable black cat.

Scary!

Amazing.

After lunch (matzo ball soup & corn chowder), we got down to the serious business of carving pumpkins.

Alice's original swirl design.

Look Dad, I'm drilling!

The vintage Martha Stewart polka dot pumpkin design, done best with a very large drill bit.

This one has a mustache.

Daddy, Daughter design.

The drill was very popular with Aaron...

and with Mason - his second design.

A line-up of a dozen very, very cool pumpkins.

A totally perfect fall day.
