Well, there really isn't a trick to pumpkin carving, or if there is I certainly haven't learned it yet. Things never seem to go as planned around here, and today was no exception. (Not sure if it's because we have 5 busy little kids, or what?) Take a look at Kameron's pumpkin for example. HARD as a rock, I tell you! (even at room temperature) We have never seen anything like it. We could not even get our sharpest knife to make the tiniest hole in it. How did we get the pumpkin head face in it,you may ask...? Not so easily... after mommy and daddy both tried with all their might, Daddy finally decided to cut the top open with a hand saw that he had in the garage, just so Kameron could scoop out the insides. Then mommy used a large nail and a hammer to make the holes in it first. Needless to say, Kameron, who was a mess from all the tears and diappointment (that he couldn't have a carved pumpkin), hopped in Daddy's pickup to go pick out a new pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. The thought of spending time alone with Daddy, and the fact that now he gets to have two pumpkins this year was all it took to put a smile back on his face. Nope... never a dull moment around here! In fact, they should be back anytime now with "The Great Pumpkin".

Kameron-I am glad to hear you were able to get a pumpkin that was not to hard!
