Four years ago Kara schmoozed Chris into asking her out on a date. Chris cooked her dinner, took her to pick out pumpkins, carved pumpkins, made her watch baseball for a long time, and the date was over by 9pm. So maybe the first date didn't go so well...and it took about 9 more months before we went on a second date...but we still celebrate it.
Here's the candle that we lit on our first date. We light it every year!
Here are the master carvers at work.
[Maybe not master carvers, maybe just attempters]

Here's Chris'

This is Kara's

I just thought this was a cool picture


Boo

No pumpkin is complete without a matching crack

Happy First Date Date Honey!

Those are both cool! I grew a bunch of pumpkins in the back yard this year but I'm afraid they won't get carved. They are sitting by the front walk.
Yes, we are boring.
Yay for your updates! You are both seriously talented carvers, I'm super impressed, and glad that you gave C a second chance after the disaster date :)
how cute to celebrate your first date four years later! love your jack-o'-lanterns.
Ha ha! Very cute! I love the punkin celebration of your first date...Scott and I dress up as missionaries to celebrate ours....ha ha just kidding, we weren't like that but that would be kinda funny....Love you!!!
I should have know you were still a faithful reader! I just assumed since I fell off the blogging band wagon for a while, that everyone stopped checking to see if I ever blogged again! Guess what?! I get to see you in a month and a half!
Oh I love your pumpkins! You are great carvers if you ask me.
You ARE master carvers! WOW!!! We asked Ashlyn, "what shape do you want your eyes on your pumpkin?" "I want them scary," she said. Jason did his best, but he can't beat yours. I'm very impressed.
That looks like such fun!!! You guys did awesome pumpkins. We just did such basic faces, maybe you will inspire me for next year...
