With the changing of the seasons comes a few traditions that I love to uphold. These include dressing up for Halloween, attending football games, and carving pumpkins.
My roomie/cousin Heidi, our friends Danielle, Christina, and Sarah, and myself carved pumpkins. Heidi and I went for the "cinderella" pumpkin, an actual type of pumpkin. We cleaned, gutted, cut, and sculpted our masterpieces.
As a child, we would actually go to a pumpkin patch and search for at least an hour till we found the perfect pumpkin. Much time and "practice sketches" were done before the final product was put into action. Gutting the pumpkin was always the grossest part to me, still is.
I still love this fall activity. Something about putting a smile on a pumpkin, brings one to my face.
