another first

i do not quite remember how the conversation came up, but i told ashley that i have never carved a pumpkin. (that i remember doing anyway) I was supposed to get a pumpkin last week. but when i got down to hyvee, i did not know what i should get. so i decided to wait till ashley could come along with me as she has carved em before.
so tonight while we were doing our weekly shopping, we decided to pick some up and give it a whirl.
so here are some pictures of our venture into the art of pumpkin carving.
