Carving out a Winner!!!

The polls are now open (well, the comments section is, anyway). So, pick your FAVORITE pumpkin picture and leave a comment with its corresponding number. The submission with
the most votes, wins!

May the best pumpkin win!
(remember, the only criteria was that this activity united the family...something they did together...or otherwise family-oriented!)





(I feel that this one needs explanation--she and her hubby grew this pumpkin together!)








I was very pleased with the variety of the submissions--so thank you to all who sent me your pictures!


PLEASE VOTE!
(That goes for everyone...not just those who submitted!)

    #4. You're criteria was to "unite a family" and seriously there is no way better to unite a family than marriage!!! Congrats!

  52. Clark DunlapOctober 27, 2009 at 1:25 AM

    I vote for 5, my guess is its way beyond the normal ability of a kid to do that good a job. Now if it was carved by a 30 year old then I feel stupid.
