Winning Pumpkins!!

The boys (including the biggest boy) worked hard on their pumpkins this year and they turned out great!!!! Wyley won Silliest Pumpkin and Tim won Best Pumpkin Overall at our ward's Halloween Party.....we can brag a little right?

Wyley created his own from his imagination and even shares with us the model he used! And Zane just loves to make the silly monkey face. Since its soooo cute we let him whenever he wants! (almost whenever)

Tim and I think it reminds us of the David books by David Shannon....you can't argue with our logic, huh?







Of course Zane wanted a Star Wars pumpkin and chose to make a clone trooper of some kind....



Tim put a lot of thought, research, and work into this pumpkin.....and it looks great. He did NOT use a stencil. He took a few ideas from pictures he found online and drew them free hand and then transferred that idea to the pumpkin-again free hand-and then carved and sculpted!

This is a nightime view of Tim's masterpiece. If you look at your laptop or monitor from an angle you can see the contrast of light and dark....its my photography skills that need the work!

Nice pumpkins! I agree that Wiley's looks like David! Zane's is very cool too. And I had no idea about that Tim's carving talent! That's awesome!
