Brock and Lindsey came over on the 14th for dinner and a little pumpkin carving! Colt and I had never carved pumpkins, except maybe when we were kids, if that. We had a lot of fun and it may just have to become an annual tradition!
Colt had picked out one really scary looking design that he wanted to try out and luckily he came up with this idea instead. This was the end result of our pumpkin. It didn't look exactly like this at the end of Friday night when we were done, but Colt had to perfect it a little on Saturday while I was at work and this is what we ended up with. I think he did a really good job. The only thing I really did was carve a few lines around the eyes!
The four of us with our pumpkins at the end of the night!
After dinner, Lindsey decided we should make the carving a competition and get outside judges. It made it fun, especially with the guys. We carved pumpkins for at least 2 - 3 hours because both Brock and Colt kept working on the pumpkins.
Both of our pumpkins turned out really great and were pretty impressive if you ask me!
They would've been in completely different categories, and I think they would've both won :)
We started out using kitchen knives and utensils and then Colt went in the garage and found some screwdrivers that ended up working better. Who needs pumpkin carving tools?!
Lindsey and her pumpkin seeds! She took all the seeds home and baked them. She sent some to school for Colt, and contrary to what Brock said, they were pretty good!

All lit up.
Before Colt fixed ours a little on Saturday, it didn't look that impressive all lit up. 
We had a great time and it was great to get to catch up and hang out.
Happy Halloween!
