They pick the pumpkins and draw their faces. I copy them to the pumpkins and make a lid. Then they do the rest with tools like dull jigsaw blades (ok, I did the mouths for Megan and Mackenzie, but it was just because Kenzie got tired and Megan was worried about the tongue). At the end, I clean them up so the edges are good and the light works well.
You can buy pretty cool designs now, but nothing beats seeing their personalities shine through ;-)
Can you guess?
2006 (above, clockwise from left): Madison's pirate, Mackenzie's scary face and Megan's hillbilly.
2005 (clockwise from left): Madison, Mackenzie, Megan.
2004 (clockwise from left): Madison's self-drawn, Megan's self-cut and Mackenzie's dad-did-it special.

Thats soo cute i like them i hope i can do one this year
why is it that the hillbilly is almost always shown with freckles? It's discrimination I tell you! I've never carved a pumpkin...and when I do, it'll be a hillbilly with no hair instead of freckles. :-)
guess what I did... I finally did it.
A tattoo? I was thinking you had gotten baptized ;-)
Megan has freckles, so she includes them on the pumpkins (freckles aren't just for redheads!)
So what is it?
i've been baptized before thank you. and of course a tattoo...for old storytime sake, thought you might laugh about it.
ah: Megan having freckles explains it. freckles are good. and I know quite a few people who have freckles but not red hair. My sister Hannah for example.
I'll put a pic up on xanga...then you can see it. ;-)
Nice. I have a friend who did his college logo. We laughed, but it does have a good story with it.
How do you light up your pumpkins?
cool pumpkins ;)
Little candles. I just hold the shutter open for a bit on a tripod and let the light fill things up.
Steve (from Wendy's computer).
I guessed them right when I saw them at the front door and I have to say I was unreasonably proud of myself :)
That's impressive!
