Carving Pumpkins and a Lot of Paint

We carved pumpkins last night. Kind of. Jamie carved one, and the boys and I painted them because we decided it would be unwise to both be wielding sharp carving utensils while trying to referee. This was a good call. I had to be in prime referee/supervising mode. We also decided to do it outside in the whipping wind because we are renting this place (with mostly carpet... ugh) and thought the landlord would not appreciate paint/pumpkin guts on his floors.

Jamie's finished product was pretty nifty. The rest of us had fun. And, that, was our pumpkin thing for this year.
