This is the story, in pictures, of our Saturday night at the Fields House. We're over for dinner a la Martha Stewart and some good ol' fashioned pumpkin carving.
Everything starts out normal. Jess is in the kitchen (wearing her famous picture face) working on dinner.
This is her brother, Travis.
He's scooping out the pumpkiny goop.
We saved the goop and baked it for our butternut squash soup.
I'm apparently really happy to be carving a pumpkin. This is the first time I've done it since I led a group of kindergarteners in pumpkin carving.
This time was more fun...and strangely enough, no less messy. Go figure.
Meet Sally. She belongs to Travis. Or is it the other way around?
Sally is really into stabbing her pumpkin.
Dan is really into stabbing asparagus. In his defense, it was self defense. They are called asparagus spears, you know.
Look, it's the happy couple. Well, half happy. Half undecided.
Dan is taste-testing the squash puree, er, soup.
(It was yummy afterall. It was all really yummy afterall. Especially the desserts. Yep. Yum-my.)
Sally's face is in no way related to the soup. I swear. More likely related to Travis. I'm pretty sure of that one.
Outside: carving pumpkins
Inside: total shenanigans.
Justin carved creepy hands.
Less creepy than when they were pointy little hands, but still creepy.
Sally carved a stinkin masterpiece. It got better after this photo, but I refuse to post any pictures of that. And since there's no proof, I'll just tell you that the pumpkin fell in the pool and you'll have to believe that Sally's pumpkin is no longer the best. Because it drowned.
The girl pumpkins.
The boy pumpkins.Fun was had by all.
Except the pumpkins.

I know what you mean about the numbers....every time my little brain thinks, "well Nell Ann is WAY lower maybe we are WAY lower" I tell myself to stop because I don't want to be disappointed....I really will be happy with 23:) Well, I really hope a few more go out this week!! haha.... and I think new numbers will come in the form of an email in the first week of november, is that correct?
