It's Halloween!!! I love this time of year because the leaves are gorgeous and falling, everyone is decorating all spooky like, and we get to carve pumpkins and dress up all crazy! Who wouldn't love all of that? Well Monday the 27th my family decided it was time to get out the knives and carve pumpkins. Everyone (My dad, mom, Miranda, Kenzie, and I) choose their pumpkins and we went to town, even little Rylin got into it! While we were scraping out the inside goo my mom decided to make it interesting and said that since Ryan couldn't be here to participate that we would make it a contest and whomevers pumpkin Ryan choose as the best would get 10 bucks! Game On! Miranda and Kenzie decided that getting into a pumpkin goo war sounded more fun, so though theirs were still in the running they didn't spend as much time on theirs.
Even Rylin wanted to carve a pumpkin. She seems to be really good at it. She may even enter contests in a few years, but for now we just want to give her a normal childhood.
After we were done we sat them on the porch and lit them up. I was quite impressed with our work. My dad got a little "help" online, but everyonelses were original ideas. Don't they look good?
Here is my pumpkin that I carved! Isn't she cute?! You have to special order these kinds of pumpkins, but they are soooo worth it.

When Ryan and special guest judge Dave Toone got home the pumpkins were presented and the winner was.......RYLIN! Honestly it was not rigged.
