Happy Halloween!




Another fun evening of Pumpkin Carving at the Fisher-Kourajian household! First the selection of pumpkin, then the selection of teams, then the plotting of design, followed by the cutting open and scooping of slimy innards (the reward being the fresh pumpkin seeds that Barb roasted and supplied us as energy while we worked), and then the careful tracing, carving, and sawing of design.
The Finale was when everyone set their pumpkins on the porch, lit the candles, and stood back to marvel at the glowing orbs of orange!
So who had the best design??
Well, the competition was fierce while the designing and cutting was going on, but everyone forgot about the top artistic honor as Barb dished out her homemade pumpkin pie topped with real whip cream . . . . We were all soon grinning wider than toothy jack-o-lanterns!!!



Maddy: totally absorbed in her art.

Nattie and Ali sample the medium



The team stands on the Coach Fisher's porch, with their mastery lit up before them.
