Pumpkin Carving 2005



We had a very beautiful day on Saturday! Sunny, and cool...Perfect weather for pumpkin carving! Since we carved our pumpkins later in the day the sun set and we were able to see our finished creations glowing in the night. My Girl's two cousins chose a Kim Possible design, and one free formed her design. My Girl chose Sully from "Monsters Inc." Katie came down for the occasion and was so kind to make Pumpkin Soup, and a beautiful, delicious winter salad with romaine, apples, herbed goat cheese, and vinaigrette dressing made with fresh herbs from her garden. I have decided to make the Pumpkin Soup part of our annual pumpkin carving tradition. My Girl and her cousins did more playing than carving. When it came time to gut the pumpkins, they all had a chance to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. My Girl wasn't crazy about sticking her hand into the gooey innards. ha! But she gave into peer pressure!
