Pumpkin Carving

The kids wanted us to carve their pumpkins so Lisa and I finally gave in and did it. We figured out that we really DO love our children. We must. It took a lot of strength, manipulation, and precision to accomplish this task. It seems simple enough to open it up, scoop the goo, and cut the pattern. Our arms began to disagree and our hands hit muscle failure sometime halfway through the first pumpkin - and Lisa did two! I have never carved a pumpkin before but now I know why this activity only occurs once a year. By the way, the kids were playing while the moms were doing the hard work :)
