Pumpkin Carving

After our fun pumpkin carvings last year, we had to some this year that were just as good.

Caleb was a little more hesistant this year about pulling out the pumpkin guts, but got to carve more.

Chesney and Caleb, scooping out the insides.
Caleb hung his head when we told him to scoop the insides. He doesn't like the way it looks/feels.
Otis is wondering what is going on.
Caleb is still stalling.
We finally got Caleb some latex gloves, and everything was ok after that.
Now time for the fun part--the carving. We were looking at the comments from last year, and Tim decided to make his dreams come true: a Captain Jean-Luc Picard pumpkin! Here, he uses Adobe Illustrator to trace out the shadows and defining features.

The tongue helps.
After printing out the Picard stencil, Tim tapes it to the pumpkin.
