Pumpkins

One of my favorite things about Halloween is carving pumpkins. I used to struggle every year to make one that looked half-way decent, and then I discovered patterns. At first I felt like I was cheating by using a pattern, but when I saw how good it turned out, I never want to carve without one again! We bought pumpkins at Wal-mart, but didn't have any time to carve them until last week. Jason still didn't have time, so up to this point, mine is the only one carved.

Shortly after I put it on the porch, the head fell off and I had to do some surgery to reattach it. It involved 2 toothpicks and a lot of pushing. But in the end it looked good as new!
