Pumpkin Carving

The third week in October appeared and with it come another visitor. CC, Travis' sister, started Fall Break from high school on Thursday. So, Travis and I drove halfway Wednesday night to pick her up. The new furniture arrived just in time to let CC have a place to sleep! She did some relaxing Thursday while Travis and I worked. We had dinner Thursday night and rested up for our big day Friday. CC came to school with me on Friday! The kids were very interested in her; even some boys began "showing" off for her on the playground! It was cute.
After arriving home Friday night after dinner, we discovered the power was off! Apparently the neighborhood has been asking for some branches to be cut. Needless to say it finally got done after they began to catch fire! So, we three decided to carve the pumpkin. The sun was actually starting to "cook" the pumpkin, so we needed to do something with it quick! Travis finished carving the pumpkin as we two held flashlights. All in all, I think it turned out pretty neat!Here it is all lit up! We are becoming expert pumpkin carvers!!!
