Smashing they are. So, the girls decided last week they were 100% ready to carve their pumpkins, doesn’t matter that Halloween is actually 3 weeks away (well, 1 and a half now). Seems they got their impulsive side from their mama. So, they begged and pleaded and bargained with Patrick until he relentlessly gave into their batting eyelashes. Out came the knife, and cut away they did. Riley is really into cats, matter of fact, she is going to be a pink leopard kitty for Halloween, so why not have a matching pumpkin. Abby thinks the fact that Halloween is all about gouhls and monsters is oh so cool, so hers had to be scary. (I think she has more testosterone in her system than her sister). The end products were awesome, thanks to Patrick’s artistic skills (or maybe it’s because he just took a human anatomy class for 10 weeks where he was dissecting everyday).

Two weeks later, these amazing night lights have melted and fallen into mishapen identities. I’ll spare you the gory pictures. There are sure to be replacements by the middle of the week!
