Halloween Countdown: Pumpkin Carving 2012!

It is not Halloween without the Traditional Pumpkin Carving Massacre! Especially not for me. As you all know, I am a huge fan of the messy task of carving pumpkins, right down to feeling the squishy, juicy guts in my hands! Mmm pumpkins! I don't think I'd ever get tired of them if I was allowed to have some all year round, but then again, they would loose that specialness they have if they were available all the time. A piece of magic that can only be captured in memory. 

Of course this year's Halloween Pumpkin Massacre happened in Portland with my friends, which was awesome but different than when I do it at home. But we still got a couple pictures...

Here's Nikki and I discussing our pumpkin plans...I dunno what was up with her hand. Maybe she was preparing for [Graverobber voice] Surgery, surgery...[/Graverobber voice]

Guts all over my fingers, the best part of pumpkin carving. 

This is where I realized I derped the top of my pumpkin. The lid wasn't fitting right.  *chuckles*

My spooky zombie hand pumpkin completed!  He lost some fingers in "The War"

My pumpkin with the strange LED light in it. Not as bright as a candle, but I bet it looks spooky flickering at night! 

Nikki's adorable kitty pumpkin. Nothing beats a candle for lighting don't you think?

I think the pumpkins turned out pretty good! I hope Nikki and Sean send me pictures of all the pumpkins we did once they are set up at their place!
