AW: Look what we made!

Spazdoodles · October 2010

FI leaves tomorrow for work and will be gone for 10 days

He's a flight attendant and has a 5 day pairing and then recurrent training in Calgary. We always spend the day before he leaves together having a date day. Last night I was trying to think of something fun we could do today and I came up with carving pumpkins! We went out and picked up 2 big pumpkins and came home and got to work. Jay wasn't totally into it, he was saying that his hand hurt and he didn't think it was going to look good. But when we put the candles inside them and turned off the lights he was like a kid on Christmas. He was sooo excited at how great both pumpkins looked, and that he actually made that. It was pretty cute.

Anyway, I just wanted to be an AW and show them off

Here is mine, the Cheshire Cat:

Those are seriously AMAZING!!!! Did you do that with just a plain ol' knife? I am so uncoordinated, I usually slice my finger open just getting the dang top off the pumpkin. lol This year, I cheated and bought a pre-painted one at the grocery store.
