Carving Pumpkins

Our friends, the Levys grew over 40 pumpkins in their garden. They shared their bountiful harvest with us and it called for a celebration of homemade soup, rolls and cupcakes, games and pumpkin carving. How many people and pumpkins can cram into a small kitchen? Especially when the pumpkins begin to spread out and knives start flying. But it was awesome, truly. Bruce carved our traditional happy pumpking. It's a team effort. I draw the face, he carves. I try to make it very difficult but, year after year, he rises to the challenge.
