Jamison gets a little carried away when it is time to carve pumpkins, he gets out his ceramic tools so he can start carving away at his pumpkin. It honestly makes me laugh, he has to get the perfect pumpkin (which ends up costing us the most, his pumpkin was $6!) and although his sculpting is amazing it takes him several hours to complete his 'vision'.
Jamison had the opportunity to carve two pumpkins this year, one pumpkin was at our ward party {which Jamison had to go by himself because I had to work} and the other pumpkin was at our apartment that we started carving at midnight {that is when I get off work}.
This is the pumpkin that he had carved from our ward party, it was so impressive that Jamison even won us an award!
I like taking some credit for this pumpkin because it says, "The Garners", which totally means the both of us! I did go over during one of my breaks at work where I enjoyed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that Jamison had made me for dinner, so I participated...just a little bit! It makes me laugh the award was originally for "A for effort" pumpkin....I thought it would be an appropriate award for what I had carved at midnight later on during the week! I didn't even bother taking a picture of it, it was that awful, definitely a "for effort" pumpkin!
And yes, this picture was taken at midnight! We were so tired! I had finished my pumpkin within an hour and fell asleep on the couch while waiting for Jamison to finish carving his pumpkin. He didn't finish his pumpkin until 2:30 in the morning! {We carved our pumpkins at night because our schedules conflict with each other, when he is at school I am at home, and when I go to work at 3:30 he then is able to come home.} If we wanted to carve pumpkins together it was going to have to be late at night!
His pumpkin without being lit up....
What is so neat is that Jamison just starts hacking at it and designs what he is going to do while he is doing it. This is not based off of any pictures that he is looking at or a stencil. He crafted and created this as he went!
Jamison is so good at this, although it can tend be to time consuming and kind of costly... He makes it worth it!
