Dufus, Igzly and Fetus

This is our family of pumpkins.
There is one for each person in our family of humans:
This is Dufus (Travis' pumpkin), he is the dad of this Jack-o-lantern family.

Then is Igzly (my pumpkin). She is the mom. I learned that perfect circles are hard to cut when using a big knife.



And, of course, baby Fetus. Fetus doesn't have a face, because we don't know what he (or she, I guess) looks like.

What a happy family photo.
Also, we do not refer to OUR baby as "fetus," because fetus is kind of a gross word.
Baby is nicer.
But fetus is Halloween-appropriate.

*Edit: This morning we renamed Dufus because Travis says it's not a very nice name after all.

His new name is Bartsen.

Dufus is one happy looking Dad! Cute family. We did the same thing when we were first married. Made a family of pumpkins that resembled family members then took a family portrait. Your picture turned out much better than ours however. Nice job!

it's made my day that you carved "fetus" into a pumpkin. This day is going to be great.

"fetus" is awesome. That picture made me chuckle for a few minutes. You are going to be a great mother!
