Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

Last week we had our "traditional" pumpkin carving night with Amber and Noel/Evan and G-Reg. We ate some yummy chili and Amber ate almost all the cornbread...again (jokes) and then the guys carved pumpkins while Amber and I just hung out. Note: Amber is not nursing in the background of this photo. She is just sticking the pacifier in his mouth.Last year we had to make a face like our pumpkin. This year Jeff did Bowser. Yes, he is obsessed with MarioKart and anything Wii. He did a really good job, especially for carving from memory. Noel's pumpkin also has some unique features. Note the unibrow and gigantic ear holes!
The masterpieces side-by-side.

And here is a picture of Greg, or G-reg. I say G-reg because Amber teaches first grade and in her class there is a little boy whose name is spelled T-R-O-Y, like Troy, but is pronounced T-Roy. She said he is African American and the sweetest boy ever. Anyway, isn't Greg a chunk? Isn't he a chunk? I should preface Greg's birth weight by noting that his brave mother is of a smaller build. He was 10 1/2 pounds when he was born!
