Eric and I had part two of his awesome surprise date this Monday. We carved our pumpkin!
Eric looked very intense as he cut the top off, it was rather intimidating 
Yay! The first of the yummy pulp and seeds that can make us delicious treats.
This pumpkin was pretty easy to clean out, the skin was a lot thicker than previous ones we’ve carved.
I found a leaf pattern to print off the internet, and drew a pattern for “Johnson”. Then came the tedious hole poking. After a while, I decided to make fewer leaves. It’s a lot of work!
It turned out really great. The carving goes half way around so you can’t see it all in one photo.
But here’s the John…
…and the son.
Of course we used the guts too, we hate wasting food. For the recipes to make these delicious treats, check here.

Nice, Sharon and I worked on a pumpkin together, she picked it out then I carried it back to the place we were hanging out with for the BSF-maris farms thing. Then I carved it out and she did the designing
So she got stuck with all the hard work, making it look good!
