Pumpkin Carving

Fortunately, we had two pumpkins that survived the Verbeck
squirrel posse's vicious attacks. Avery wasn't too thrilled about
the fact that her favorite pumpkin had been destroyed,
but she did settle for this one instead.

and Avery warmed up to the idea eventually.

The finished product. Avery insisted that hers should look firendly
and she chose the features--googly eyes, an arrow nose and a small mouth.
