My little cousin, who lives closer to me these days since she began college this fall, came over for a slumber party this past weekend.
I texted her before we met up to see if she wanted to carve a pumpkin while she was visiting with us. This was her response:
Pretty enthusiastic, right?
She said she hadn’t carved a pumpkin since she was 8 or 9 years old.
How sad :(
But then I thought… GREAT – the girl doesn’t know how much work it is and will quickly leave the rest to us and retreat to texting on her blackberry or creepin’ {as she calls it} on facebook.
WRONG!
She did the whole thang herself – came up with the idea, cleaned out all the seeds and goop, traced perfect circles, and went about actually carving it.
College must be really rubbing off on her ;)
I was impressed to say the least.
and I never miss a chance to take a crazy killer picture…
See what I mean?

She calls this work of art “the Stink Eye” – ???
Girl cracks me up, constantly.
Later in the week, I was taking a picture of the mini gourds on my coffee table and realized after it uploaded it that someone in the background was giving me the stink eye!!!!
=)
