Pumpkin Carving October 2010

We had a fabulous time at my in laws' house on Saturday! Nancy loves Halloween so much, she has a pumpkin carving party for all the family to come join in. My mom and sister went too this year! My dad was on a plane to Ireland so he missed out but maybe next year he can make it!

We had delicious food. OMG Nancy sure can cook up some good appetizers! We carved pumpkins, fiddled in the backyard, the kids rode the quad with Papa, we had pizza and salad and a fantastic dessert too. We rolled out the front door and home with our elastic pants good and stretched ;) Here are some of the pics, I have more coming but I figured this would get us all started! My mom took all these, she's such the photographer!

Looks like fun! How do you keep them from rotting when you carve them so early?????

i have them indoors now. i don't know how they'll do, we've never carved this early. in fact, the last 2 or 3 years we didn't even bother carving at all. i am hoping the pleasent 78 degrees indoors helps! i'm taking lots of pics though, just in case!
