Tonight we carved Danny and Nicole’s pumpkins. They each got their own pumpkin this year because the price was so low at Cub Foods. I told the kids to pick out ugly pumpkins. Danny go the most ugly pumpkin because it had bumps and warts all over it. Nicole’s was pretty ugly too because hers was smushed in. Danny’s had a lot of seeds that we scraped out and put into a paper bag for Kathy to cook. Then we carved open Nicole’s and found a surprise. It was full of white cotton (mold.) The kids thought that was great. Kathy didn’t think so and threw the whole bag of seeds away. The kids were disappointed that they could not have pumpkin seeds, but they certainly enjoyed having their own horribly ugly pumpkins that scared the cats away.

Danny wanted a mean pumpkin,

so we carved a frown in his. Nicole

wanted hers to have lots of teeth.
