Hi! Sorry I haven't blogged in a week or two. I've been really busy with birthdays, youth retreats, girl scout meetings, 4-H meetings, farm chores, and school. I haven't had much free time but I'm gonna try to blog more this week. So here's my Artistic Tuesday!
Tonight my family and I carved pumpkins. Each of us kids got our pumpkins ready by cutting off the tops and scraping out the pumpkin guts. Some of my younger siblings won't stick their hands in a pumpkin (and maybe I won't either) so it took a while to scrape them all out. I carved a really detailed vampire on mine. It took me a couple hours to finish while my siblings were done in about an hour. My sisters carved the headless horseman and a scaredy cat on their pumpkins. My younger brothers carved two happy smiley faces and a ghost. When we finished we lined all the pumpkins up on our porch and admired our works of art. Every year I make sure my pumpkin is really cool. Last year I carved a smiling cat face and the year before I carved a witch on her broom flying across the moon. I wish I had a picture but since I don't you'll just have to imagine how amazing our pumpkins looked. Tomorrow my mom and I are going to make pumpkin bars, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pies, pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin pancakes. We'll be eating pumpkin for a while! Happy Halloween everybody!!!
Where are the pictures? They do look pretty cool on your porch.
