Adrienne and I have been talking about carving pumpkins for over a week and we finally did it. I haven't carved a pumpkin since probably elementary school and neither had she, so we thought we would relieve our childhoods and head out to the pumpkin patch.
We went to a pumpkin "patch" nearby and found some relatively small pumpkins. We had been craving thai food all weekend, so we decided to find a thai restaurant before heading home and carving. The closest one was 20 minutes away in the opposite direction, but we decided to go for it. I ended up getting sushi, but it was the right decision because it was delicious. Adrienne got chicken curry, which I tried and was really good. I love sushi, though....

I'm not sure if I like this picture of me, but it looks very fall-sh with the scare crow and bench |

sushi and curry...yuuummmm! |
We made a pit stop to get a carving kit and headed home for an evening of pumpkin carving. I didn't realize how long it would take to carve a pumpkin, especially if you try to do anything creative. We had this book that came with stencils so you could make something more than just the traditional jack-o-lantern. I settled on a bat flying across a crescent moon and Adrienne went with a mummy. You can decide if they actually look like that, but we're both really proud of our carving abilities.

The finished product....a bat flying over a crescent moon |
Overall, it was a very fall-ish day. I missed the cool weather and leaves, but I guess it's just something I'll have to live with. Happy fall everyone!
