Friday night we thought it'd be fun to carve pumpkins, in the spirit of the season. Turns out we were a little late for the pumpkin patch because when we got there a rope had been wrapped around the area, creating a barrier between us and our desired gourds. What do we do? In Ashley's words we "stole the pumpkins." In anyone else's terms, we stepped over a rope. At which point we each chose a pumpkin and in true thief style, each slipped a $10 bill into the owner's shed. Rebellious.
About an hour into carving our pumpkins I straightened up and realized that the way the pumpkins were being carved was an exact match of our personalities- sisters and significant others alike. Here's a rundown:
Ashley and Hunter- still poking holes in the pattern, each with their own pumpkin, and each expecting their pumpkins to be perfect.
Lisa and Matt- Lisa helped pick the pattern and then poured herself a glass of wine to sip on while she watched Matt carve it for her.
Me and Jason- I finished picking the pattern, poking the holes and carving the pumpkin in 30 minutes. Then I was on to turning Nutter Butters into white chocolate-covered ghosts. Jason never considered carving, he was eating the pumpkin seeds.

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!
