Believe it or not, until today I had never carved a pumpkin in my entire life and I was shocked when Jimmy said that he had never carved one either! Determined not to allow our own children to be so deprived, they got to have their first carving experience with our community group tonight. Patterns were chosen and designs created and everyone got down and dirty getting those pumpkins cleaned out and carved up. They all worked tirelessly and their efforts paid off in some really impressive looking pumpkins!

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone who knows Ben and Jack, but while most of the group was working hard on their masterpieces those two little boys were more than happy to keep Norie company over by the new fire pit. I'm sure the bag of marshmallows and roasting sticks had nothing to do with that...

Thanks for your hospitality, Meullers!

A perfectly fall-ish evening joy...
