Pumpkin Carving

 We decided to carve our pumpkins tonight.  We had pumpkin vines growing all over the garden this summer with blossoms everywhere, but only ended up with these two pumpkins.  That works out OK though -two is all we needed to carve and I am sure Ava would have wanted to carve all that we had!

 Ava liked scooping out the pumpkins and made sure she got every seed out!

John and Ava show off the finished products.  She wanted a smiley face and a funny face - this is what we ended up with and she was happy with it.  Actually, she mentioned wanting a monkey face, but unfortunately, neither one of her parents are that talented :) !
