We did it!!!!
I did not grow up in the typical "fall season" type areas....and so really don't remember doing many of the harvest/fall type activities that many of you grew up with.
I was determined that we would carve a pumpkin and bob for apples this year. We bobbed for apples last spring. The pumpkin thing was daunting. I didn't even know HOW to carve a pumpkin....
Then there's the whole Halloween thing. We've chosen not to do Halloween as a family. We've never gone trick or treating, we don't dress up etc.....but we wanted to carve a pumpkin.
Over the years I've gotten the "Being a Christian is like a pumpkin" thing on the internet several times. This year Emily mentioned how she and her family have a tradition of carving the pumpkin as an object lesson. My mind began to spin.
My sister in law sent a little decorated card with the poem on it....and I knew we would do it...but never seemed to find the time.
Mike told me yesterday to "just carve the pumpkin".
We did...photos to follow.
