"My pumpkin is very cool and sweet." -- Carly Morris

Cousin's Crazy Costume Carnival

I may not have gone all out on a pumpkin, but atleast I have a sweet costume!

The McDaris Pumpkin...

We worked long and hard last night and whipped this baby into shape:

Confession: We've been sick all week and never came within 10 feet of a pumpkin. I stole this picture from Google. But isn't it neat? If I did carve a pumpkin, I'd want it to look like this!

Yes, here's our entry!

Ok, here's the entry for us! Gen painted it at school yesterday, and she is very proud of it. She keeps picking it up ("Oooh! Heavy!") and bringing it to me to tell me "I paint that at school!"

Justus' Pumpkin

this is my entry, its a few years old, but its def not as cute as Monica's or as intricate as Molly's

Monica's Poling Pumpkin Showdown Entry

Okay, so the carving isn't as creative as Molly's cat, but I had to scrape out every last seed inside!

Pumpkin Throwdown

I would like to challenge all of you fantastic and talented people to the First Annual Poling Pumpkin Carving Contest. Here is my entry.

I can only come up with one rule for you wiseguys: Don't even think about copy/pasting from any professional-type carving websites. We won't be fooled.

The winner receives bragging rights and the satisfaction of personally smashing everyone else's sub par entries. Of course, you have to come and get them yourself. And you have to wait until Halloween is over and the pumpkins are saggy and gross and/or have already been stolen and smashed by a raucous group of high-schoolers.

Good luck to all.
