Laura didn't even think about pumpkin carving...it's just not one of her favorite traditions... But the boys thought differently. At the beginning of the month, Preston had taken a mini pumpkin and carved it - perfect. Carving complete.. Oh no, Laura wasn't off the hook that easy!!! On October 30th, the eve of Halloween, CJ was acting bummed about something...when Laura finally got it out of him... IT was brought to her attention that we hadn't carved a pumpkin yet and this needed to be done! (forget about carving...we hadn't even bought a pumpkin large enough to be worthy of proper carving) So Laura and CJ quickly rectified the situation...they ran to walmart, bought a perfect plump carving worthy pumpkin and CJ carved it!! It may not be Laura's favorite, but sometimes she needs those reminders that she is raising boys...and any excuse to carve, use knives, and create a masterpiece - are their favorites! Good job boys...thanks for keeping the tradition alive!!! ( We enjoyed Preston's carved pumpkin on the kitchen counter all month, until we discovered that by Halloween Preston's poor pumpkin was saturated in mold .. yikes.
