Pumpkin Fun

Thanks for the comments/encouragement on my previous post. Much appreciated!

In previous years, Jill has hosted a pumpkin carving party. There was always food, laughter, and lots of creativity from people I didn't know were creative. This year, we had a mini mini party with just the four of us (Anneli is gone during the week for work). Sarah didn't carve a pumpkin, so there are only three pumpkins out on our deck. which are already shriveling in the heat.

Here's Jill, with her hands full of pumpkin goop. She baked the pumpkin seeds afterward, and I took some to work today for a yummy snack.

Nat, also scraping pumpkin innards.

The finished pumpkins. Mine, Nat's, and Jill's.

I don't like making just a face on my pumpkins. As usual, I was the last one carving. I always put too many curved lines.

Here was my inspiration. I got this ring at Target about eight months ago, and rarely take it off. For some unexplainable reason, I just love it.

So although our party was downsized, and probably not as loud as last year, it was a good one nonetheless.
