Pumpkin Failure

Trav carves pumpkins with the kids every year and they usually turn out super cute- this year we invited my niece and nephew to join us. Allias and Gavin decided to make a Miami Heat pumpkin and the girls were going to do a haunted house on one and a ghost on the other. Needless to say things didn't quite go as planned- all of the carving tools broke and everyone gave up except for Allias who tried to do his with a regular knife. He was just about finished when the whole thing collapsed. He said "wow it is just like Miami in the playoffs- it took so much time and hard work and  looked so great right up to the last minute and then it just fell apart"
All three half finished pumpkins are sitting on my counter- I wonder if Trav will buy another carving kit and finish them! I am just thankful that he likes to do this kind of stuff and I can just sit behind the camera and watch!

Kay wasn't sure she wanted to touch the "guts" this year
