Pumpkin = Geography

Geoffrey has been plotting all week what he wanted to do with his pumpkin-he decided to create the globe. So when Saturday finally rolled around, I found him printing off a world map to use as his pumpkin blue print. I'm sure for those of you that know Geoff, can picture his excitement at this task. He sent me looking for just the right carving tools (which I teased him about and then ended up loving) to make sure he could get the correct angle to carve every detail, including the boot of Italy.
Here we are before we began to carve. Geo's thrilled with the nice round 'canvas' he has to work on.
Work in progress. Our finished jack-o-lanterns or jack-o-globes.
Everyones finished work!
Needless to say we had a blast. The last time we carved a pumpkin was when I was a senior in high school, and Geoff was a freshman at BYU. He had come home for the weekend. The picture I have of us is haunting-we haven't changed a bit!

That looks like so much fun. Geoff's globe is really cool. It must have taken awhile to do.

Pssh. All this talking up Italy's boot and then you don't even show it? I think G must have messed it up.

Either that or he's not very fond of that part of the world.
