Dueling Pumpkins


This year is our 5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest.  I was impressed with our carving skills this year.  We have clearly improved since we started this little contest back in 2008.


2008: Left: Mine; Right: Eric's....Yikes.....clearly before we discovered the wonderful world of Pumpkin Carving Templates and Pumpkin Carving Tools.  Eric like to say he was practicing this year.  I won hands down.

2009: Left: Eric's; Right: Mine....He will fight me on this one but according the the facebook votes, I won.  He will say that if you add in the votes from people who saw them in person that he won, but I have no documentation of their votes...=)

2010: Left: Mine; Right: Eric's....We both had quality pumpkins that year.  I was particularly proud of my cat design, but those fence posts were a pain in the @$$ to cut out.  Eric's deer head got lots of votes from our deer hunting enthusiastic friends, but once again again I claimed the facebook vote victory.

2011: Left: Eric's; Right: Mine....Eric finally claimed a victory with his flaming-faced jack-o-lantern.  I tried to get creative with the scary tree, but the sections were too thin and it ended up looking like a brain instead.

So which one do you like the best?!
