The Dremel Awakens

Happy Halloween!  It's time to carve pumpkins!


Daddy fired up his Dremel again to get all the lids started . . .


. . . then Joy . . .



. . . and Daniel set to work carving the faces they'd drawn on their pumpkins.


Anna wanted to draw her own face then let me carve it, but I told her the prospect of trying to carve that face was a little, um, scary.


She agreed to let me design a different one, and we were both happy with the result.  The pumpkin looks happier, too.


Here are our finished jack-o-lanterns.  From left to right: Todd's, Mama's, Joy's, Daniel's, Daddy's, and Anna's.  In case you're wondering, Daddy's design is a silhouette of Darth Vader's helmet.  While his Death Star pumpkin from last year was pretty cool, it took over an hour to carve and he preferred to keep things simple this year.


This evening, we took the three big kids trick-or-treating with Joy's friend Riley from school.  The Force is strong with that one.
