Day 219 - Carving Pumpkins

We carved our homegrown pumpkins today. It was fun. However it made me come to the realization that winter is coming which means I lose my natural lighting at night. Sad day. But I guess it will give me a challenge to try to get good pictures using artificial light. I'm not going to use my flash - pure manual mode right here. That's the whole point of me doing my project 365, right?

Anyways, here's the pics.

  When Jonas was "helping" me, he literally thought that the witch was going to be inside the pumpkin. When we were cutting the top off, he kept knocking on the pumpkin saying "are you in there?" Ha ha ha! That is so funny! After countless times trying to explain that we were going to carve the witch in the pumpkin, I gave up. He just really wanted the witch to be in there. Even when we had the top off and getting out the pumpkin guts, he still thought the witch was going to be in the pumpkin guts somewhere. Love it!

This was the one and only time he stuck his hand inside to get the guts out. He wasn't a fan of getting his hands dirty.

 Clint drew up his own design. Can you tell who the creative one is in the family? Ya - not me! He says he looks at it like a logo - black and white. White is see through (so you carve it) and then black is not so you shave it. Ya, he's creative. I still would have a hard time trying to come up with my own design.
