Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them...he cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” God said, “I did do something. I made you.” ~Author Unknown

Pumpkin Carving



 
The girls were soooo excited to finally carve their pumpkins.  They started with some great pumpkins that we scored at BB's fall festival.  (Sometimes it pays to be some of the last people to leave and get all of the goodys left behind.)


 
We couldn't find our pumpkin carving tools from the previous years, so the girls planned out their pumpkins on a piece of paper before drawing on their pumpkin with a sharpie.  They didn't want to mess up their pumpkin.  They oooohheed and uuugghhed the entire time they cleaned out the inside on the pumpkin. Of course, they loved every minute of it.
 


The girls giving Daddy some love for helping them scrap the sides and do all of the cutting.



The pumpkins are proudly displayed on our front porch.  BB wanted to do a cute one.  (All of the black spots are freckles.)  AB wanted to do a scary one with teeth hanging out.  I think they look perfect!  Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to get my camera flash to turn off, so I could get a night picture with the light shining.
 
After carving pumpkins, we made some chocolate chip pumpkin muffins for AB's teacher appreciation snacks tomorrow.  The girls love to help out in the kitchen.  Of course, these muffins are some of their favorites!
