Pumpkin Carving

This Friday Veronica and I held our third annual Pumpkin Carving with the D-group girls.  We had nine girls plus two of our fellow Sacred Road team members, Neena and Miranda, helping out.  As soon as we rounded up all the girls we drove to the nearest produce stand where there were hundreds of pumpkins to choose from.  After much thought, mainly from me, all the perfect pumpkins had been chosen and we headed back to the house to carve.  An hour and half later we had a row of pumpkins disguised as bats, ghosts, spiders, and smiling faces.  For some of the girls that we have been meeting with for several years now, it was another page in the book of many good memories we have made together.  For our new sixth graders it was one of the first memories we made in our relationship.  I think everyone would agree a good time was had by all.
