"Put ' em up, Put 'em up!"

Since we had a whole Wizard of Oz themed Halloween, we decided to make our pumpkin fit right in!  We found some patterns for all the characters and we had it narrowed down to the Lion (Meredith's choice) and the Scarecrow (Jillian's choice).  Mommy and Daddy were pleased when a possibly rigged version of "pick a hand" led to the easier looking lion!  Jillian was a little disappointed, but she bounced back quickly!  In typical carving fashion, I took on the brunt of the tasks while I got slight interest from the girls in the beginning and Neal just cheering us on from the sidelines! 

 It is yuck inside the pumpkin! And yes, the girls are wearing swimsuits. In October.  They weren't really swimming, but they wear these around the house to pretend they are gymnasts.




Our finished Cowardly Lion pumpkin.  Somehow I didn't get a picture of him with our Dorothy girls, but we still had lots of fun with our pumpkin this year!
