Pumpkin Madness

Rachel and I are trying to figure out what traditions we can create throughout the year and one we have agreed upon is carving pumpkins. We were in a complete wealth of pumpkins, and we decided to spend an evening watching Disney movies, and carving away.
We set a blanket down in the living room and gave 'er hell!

Rachel had picked out some crazy stencils and spent a few hours tracing them out before the carving began. A good stencil makes all of the difference.
Rachel let me have the minion:

 And she took Tinkerbell. FANTASTIC!

We continued to carve until our hands were literally cramping.

 

Jack Skellington

Purple Minion (at least that's what we modeled it after...)

 Belle from Beauty and the Beast

 Areil from The Little Mermaid

Mario which turned out OK. The white ones are more squash like and it didn't light up well.

When we do things we don't mess around! I am an all or none kind of a guy. Next year will be off the charts...
