Rain Rain Go Away

As the title of this post suggests it has been raining here...a lot. We moved to Georgia to avoid to long grey rainy days, yet for almost 4 straight days it has been grey and raining A LOT! Everyone here is thrilled because it helped so much with the drought. It is good for Austin and me as well because it reminds us of what it is like to deal with the rain and grey days. Thankfully today it was sunny and blue sky again...finally!

We took advantage of the grey weekend and did a pumpkin carving afternoon with our friends.
















Everyone else was long finished when I remembered the camera so Chris finishing up Tay's pumpkin is the only carving shot we took.
















Taylor's pumpkin, she actually did most of this, Chris just did the final touches.




















Piper's kitty pumpkin.

















My classic ghost, Austin did the scraping and cut the lid off for me.





















And now let me present to you the best pumpkin ever carved in the history of man kind.
















Yeah, that's right, Austin carved this free hand! This is NOT traced as the other pumpkins were. He just looked at the Denver Broncos logo on our pillows (which is shown below for those who don't follow football) and drew it on the pumpkin free hand. He then carved it out.
Unfortunately our good camera is broken and our old camera takes blurry pictures without the flash on. But trust me, it is the BEST pumpkin ever!












Here's the arrangement in the light.

Awesome pumpkins! Austin, I'm not surprised that you did the Bronco's pumpkin freehand. You have always been an artist. :) Sorry that you have had so much rain. Sounds like you are still having fun though. Do you think the pumpkins will last until Halloween?

Taylor and Piper's are impressive too!

The pumpkins will not last until Halloween. IT was 87 degrees today, sliced up veggies don't last long around here like they do in the cool weather. We left one whole in hopes that it will last.

Very Awesome Pumpkins - all of them!! It has been beautiful here - sunny and cool!! (But I'm sure the rain will start soon). I'm glad you got to carve some pumpkins - will you have to do more when these melt away?
