Halloween, Part 1: The Great FHE Pumpkin Adventure

My calling the Manhattan 8th Ward is Family Home Evening Group Leader. So every Monday, we get together and end up laughing until our sides hurt. It is seriously the most fun you could think of.

The week of Halloween, we got very festive and decided to carve pumpkins. We had over 30 people show up (which is remarkable, because average turnout for most FHE groups is 5-10 people), and we celebrated in style.

Sarah and Jeff, Squash Artists:



Russell, with his best pumpkin face:



Matt, the pumpkin artist... He takes this very seriously...




Some people carved pumpkins, Sarah and Jane ate caramel dipped apples...



And then Jane and Joey tried to eat their pumpkin...



The glowing results...

(I'm not sure what the story is with the Jack the Jew pumpkin, honestly, I have no idea).

We called the pumpkin on the left the "Twilight" pumpkin, because it is a vampire about to bite a woman's neck, and the one on the right we called "Scarface" for obvious reasons...

Hooray for FHE! Hooray for Pumpkin Carving!
