Pumpkins: The Deed is Done!

I've been holding the kids off on carving the pumpkins for weeks. I have to admit that although I love Autumn and Halloween, I don't look forward to cutting up the pumpkins. They look so much better when they're in their natural form. Since last night was Halloween Eve, we had to do the deed. I put Dan in charge. He and Tristan carved an elaborate face into the big guy and the other kids sketched simple designs on the smaller ones. We even grew one of the pumpkins ourselves! The pumpkin that Dan is holding in front of his face came from our garden. Next year we're going to give our plant more water in hopes that we get more than one pumpkin.
