Pumpkins Death

So last night we ran out and bought some pumpkins, invited Bryce's sister Bekah over and broke out our brand new pumpkin carving kit that my mom gave us. We have some artistic people around this house so I knew they would be awesome pumpkins. Here are Bryce, Kendal (Paul's Girlfriend) and Paul sitting around the table waiting for inspiration:

Can you guess what this is going to be?
And here they are in all their beautiful glory. They look amazing lit up, but I'm not talented enough to take those pictures apparently...from left to right we have Bryce, Keely, Bekah, Kendal, and Paul.
Here is Bryce's amazing WSU creation:
Mine is a pretty lady...
Bekah did the bat signal
Kendal did an amazing scary tree scene
And Paul did is infamous nautical star
Although we live in a great neighborhood, I decided it was best to leave the pumpkins on the deck rather than the front porch. I would be devastated if some hooligans smashed our beautiful artwork. Unfortunately, I never considered the damage a dog might do...




Yes, three of the four pumpkins were sent to an early grave when Thisbe decided they would make a good snack. Our masterpieces did not even last 24 hours, let alone last until Halloween. Fun was had by all last night, but today we are mourning the loss of our pumpkins...

Thisbe will be mourning the loss of her bed tonight as pumpkins are a great laxative, she will be spending the night in her kennel.
