The Great Pumpkin

Ryan and I picked up a pumpkin at the local farm so we could carve something exciting with the kids. I have always thought of myself as somewhat artistic and creative when it comes to these types of things so I thought this would be pretty easy. Let's just say I found out that I am not the worlds best pumpkin carver nor do I have the patience to do it.

I started off by trying to sketch the little mermaid into the pumpkin but got annoyed with the process and decided to go for an easy princess castle. Again, I got impatient and said a few choice words while carving. I realized I carved in the wrong spots and the castle sort of resembled a crack house. I guess it was worth while because the kids loved the pumpkin and seemed pretty impressed. It's the simple things that make them happy.

If you squint your eyes, you can make out a castle :)
