Our last project of the weekend was carving pumpkins. We had carefully selected our pumpkins (yeah, that one looks good!) and had cleaned them out Sunday morning. T was still in emotional turmoil from Washington's loss in the final seconds that he only half-heartedly worked on his pumpkin with grandma.
Grandma on the other hand, was going to town on her pumpkin! With her trace-out sheet of a werewolf (I think!) she had carved the majority of it; however, I noticed that she failed to cut out a couple of accent cuts (oops!). In attempting to add the additional cuts, she broke the head off!
In great grandma style, she attempted to "fix" the great pumpkin by using a handful of toothpicks and candle wax. Here was her ghoulish result:
Unfortunately, it didn't remain together. I was able to keep it together, although some of the wax fell off the pumpkin.
As evening quickly approached, it was time for grandma to head home, but not before a fall family photo!
After grandma left, I carved my pumpkin and T finished his. Here is the happy family of pumpkins (werewolf, scared face and castle):
