Pumpkin Party

We had a fabulous time carving pumpkins in school today. My class really got into it, in a way I had not anticipated. Boys and girls both were totally involved and did a fantastic job. Not that I was really concerned, but these are young adults with adult responsibilities and I wasn't sure they could let themselves go...but they did and we had a ball. Each pumpkin was artsy and unique. One dairy farmer student came up with a Barack Obama Jack O' Lantern that is incredibly realistic. These kids have hidden talents I wish I could tap into more often. We roasted the seeds - hmmmm, delicious - and one student carried plates of the warm, salty, buttery, crunchy snack to the teachers in our wing. The kids will take their pumpkins home tomorrow.
