Carving Pumpkins

I have a confession to make.  Since Aaron and I have been married we have not done pumpkins.  Not even in years past when we had kids.  The excuse always was, Oh, our kids are not old enough.  That chapter has ended and we can now say we have carved pumpkins! 

Aspyn thought that they were yucky to feel.  She did taste it and did not like it.  Sophy couldn't keep her hands out of the pumpkins.  She loved the stringy ewy gooieness of it all.  She even ate it and liked it!  There is a picture of the pumpkin on her face.

My pumpkin died after two days of being outside even before we started.  That is okay because I got to do the other pumpkins and Aaron said that he would share his with me.  Aspyn wanted a regular pumpkin face and we did a silly face for Sophy's.  Aaron did a scary face.  We put the pumpkins outside and after three days they were grouse.  We have learned that pumpkins do not last long in El Paso.  At least we have the memories!
