Our First (And Probably Last) Pumpkin Carving

So for some reason I thought it would be fun to let the girls carve some pumpkins. Katelyn has been asking for a while, and I finally gave in. So we got all geared up and dug into the pumpkins. What we got was a HUGE mess. They were up to their elbows in seeds and strings, and the dog was eating droppings off the deck as fast as they could drop them. But, in the end, after a lot of carving and cutting by me, we ended up with two cute pumpkins and two proud little girls. So later on tonight I will light the candles and we will enjoy looking at our pumpkins...I mean really enjoy them because I doubt I will ever go for this again!
