We decided to bring in the fall season by hosting a pumpkin carving extravaganza with some friends. Kolby put the whole impromptu event together to continue his grandmother's annual tradition of pumpkin artistry. The evening was complete with hot apple cider, Monday night football, roasted pumpkin seeds, and awards for pumpkin-carving talent.
Cleaning out the pumpkin goop
Kolby hogging the Princess Pumpkin-Carving Kit tools that we bought at the grocery store
Our final products at their best: Kolby's pumpkin calling for Batman and my pumpkin just sitting there being the amazing masterpiece that it is. If this isn't a creative display of raw talent then I don't know what is!
The whole gang
The pumpkin line-up
We all had a great time and Kolby and I ended the night chatting about how blessed we are with our little life here. We have wonderful friends and have jobs that let us spend time with them often. And our apartment is very old and small but we love it and that night it held 8 people carving pumpkins and smelled like yummy apple cider so what more could we possibly need?

Let me just say that your carving skills are VERY impressive! Yours wins, for sure!
Those pumpkins looked impressive lit up! You looked way too excited about scooping out the goop inside, Ems! Be careful what you do with that stuff - our friends just threw the seeds outside in one year, and the next year they had a whole pumpkin patch growing in their backyard!
