Theresa couldn't let us carve pumpkins on an empty stomach.
So she made us some yummy funfetti cupcakes. Mmm. Cupcakes.

It was a pretty nice day and actually getting a little cool. Still we all gathered in the driveway.

Another great day of pumpkin carving with good friends!
I carved mine last week, but it's already starting to mold. The glue didn't work this year :( Maybe I should have waited a little longer.
ReplyDeleteThat's unfortunate. You can always try carving a little deeper to get rid of the mold. I had to do that last night for my Jack Skellington.
