Carving Pumpkins

 This year we decided to carve pumpkins for the first time as a family.

 
Uschi, lets carve pumpkins!

Nope.

 Tanji, would you like to carve a pumpkin?

Pass.

Vladi is already waiting on the newspaper.

Pumpkin carving hat?  Check.

Safe viewing spot for Vladi?  Check.

Vladi is totally jazzed, Tanji is sneaking out to the kennel.

V is fascinated by the new sights and smells.

That's a little too close, Vladi.

Pumpkin pulp and seeds are flying...

 

...Vladi moves to a safer distance.

 We're going to try roasting the pumpkin seeds tomorrow.

 Scary pumpkin...

 ...and cute pumpkin.

 Even better with a candle.

 This pumpkin had a few rotten spots...

...so it ended up with two faces.

 Uschi is brought in for the pumpkin judging.

Dad...Best in Show!
