Pumpkin carving













The sacrifice of not carving pumpkins did not seem too big to me. Other years I have taken the girls to the pumpkin patch or chosen the perfect pumpkin from Walmarts offerings. But this year I just decided that pumpkins were not in our reduced budget. I didn't think it would be a big deal.

Ali did though. She insisted that we carve pumpkins and that Friday I did what I could to oblige her. I called each and every store in the mountains... but they were already sold out or had decided not to carry the pumpkins this year. So what was left were the two small pumpkins the size of a baseball and softball to carve. The girls loved it and I think they turned out so cute! I will try to grow bigger pumpkins next year.
