A few days before we left D.C. for our Halloween vacay, I promised the little boy that we were going to carve a pumpkin face since they do not have this activity in his gym class. So, one evening his dad surprised him by bringing home this very large pumpkin.

It was already very late and we decided to do it the following day. The next day we could not wait for hubby and so the little boy and I went our way and carved mr. pumpkin! We do not have newspapers so I just used plastic bag as it would be one messy activity.

These were our carving gadgets (kuno!) The marker, the shapers and the carving knife!

My assistant who was very excited!

On we went with the whole carving process, let the pictures tell you the rest of the story :)
When hubby came home he was happy because we made an almost-perfect jack-o-lantern, however he was disappointed we did not wait for him lol! I wished we did because that pumpkin is so damn hard!

Till our next jack-o-lantern carving.
