We carved pumpkins for family home evening. I got online and let the kids pick the face they wanted to use, and then I cut open the pumpkin, and then let the kids gut their own and then I carved their faces. Our school does a pumpkin walk every year, and each kid is asked to bring a carved pumpkin to school for their class table. Each class is given a theme, and the kids are supposed to decorate their pumpkin accordingly.
Ellie's classes theme was witches, ghosts, and goblins. This was her interpretation of all of the above. She was sad the evening of the pumpkin walk because we could not find her pumpkin. We had taken it to school the morning of, and when we got to her classes table that evening her pumpkin was not with her class. The next morning we found her pumpkin and it had been put in the back of the stage cause someone had broken it. She was pretty sad. I told her of all the pumpkins in her class hers was my very most favorite. 
Jake's classes theme was happy, sad, grumpy, mad. This is what he chose. His pumpkin looked so cute sitting with his class table, and I think his turned out the cutest. Of course I am the mom and it is my job to think that anything my kids do outshines what any other kid does, right?
