Here are the before, during and after pictures.
Christopher hated cleaning out the pumpkin- I thought he was going to throw-up. It was so funny watching him clean it out.
Jackson tried a very difficult pattern which didn't work. He adapted well and changed his pumpkin to a spider/throw-up design. I think the inspiration came after he ate some raw pumpkin.
Chandler chose to carve a skull. I didn't think it turned out very well until it was outside and lit. It was amazing!
Chris worked very hard on his pumpkin. We are very proud of his pumpkin carving skills. Of course he couldn't help himself- he had to do the throw-up joke. That really caught on with the boys--thanks Chris. Can you tell who he carved? That is my cute little bat in the background.

You guys have some serious skills!
I can't tell what Chris carved. It looks terrifying. Is it Dracula?
Your pumpkin carving pictures are so amazing! You're all so talented :) I really liked Obama as well, I wonder if he imagined his image on a jack o latern when he was carving pumkins at 10 years old????? Anything and Everything is POSSIBLE :)Thanks also for your prayers and your concern. I've realized through this little experience how many wonderful and amazing friends I have, and I'm so grateful for all of you!
You really are awesome carvers. Did your hubby have some sort of pattern for the Obama pumpkin or did he just freehand that? Wow.
Now that Obama has won, you'll have to tell me what you really like and respect about him (I'm totally serious and not being sarcastic). I am a big believer in trying to look for the good in our leadership so now that he's it, I better look a little deeper.
So creative! I can't wait until my kids are old enough to carve their own pumpkins...on second thought, maybe I can! But, it does seem fun!
I am quite impressed with pumpkins. Your "grandkids" weren't that artistic!
I don't carve pumpkins as I can say with 100% assurity that I'd lost a finger or two.
I just applied to work in the Obama administration. Keep your fingers crossed b/c I think it's the perfect job for me! Plus LA is getting stale and DC is calling me back.
