It's Punka Time!

Clara has really become quite the talker these past few weeks.  Her expanded vocabulary now includes the word "punka," which in adult language means pumpkin.  We carved our pumpkins this weekend, and Clara was excited to help.


She chose her face design from a couple options I drew on a separate paper, then I carved her pumpkin to match her choice.  She was mostly fascinated with the guts and removable top of the pumpkin.  She even tasted a sample.



  
I think this year's pumpkins are definitely the best so far.  Here are the family pumpkins.  Jared's is on the bottom, mine in the middle, and Clara's on top:


    Jared really went above and beyond his normal pumpkin carving standards by creating a pumpkin snowman and a green Spartan pumpkin.


They look great displayed on our new porch, which still needs a coat of stain, but you get the idea.
