Pumpkin Carving

Seriously? What is there to NOT love about middle schoolers? They're totally normal. I mean c'mon...who doesn't love a good laughing contest?

And who else could you count on to love a pumpkin with a face like this and even name it Jeffery? Oh and that little slice on the side of his head was because he got dropped. But no worries. He survived. (On a side note...this pumpkin had a serious case of the runs. Has anyone else ever cut open a pumpkin and found it literally half full of like, juice? In all my pumpkin carving years I have never quite seen what came out of poor Jeffery. And after we dumped him out, he continued to produce juice as he was being carved. So weird.)

Seriously I just love these girls and I loved the opportunity to help them carve their pumpkins! Also loved that our lesson was about how we are like pumpkins. Full of junk and sin. Then a holy and gracious God comes along and gets that out of us, makes us a new creation and places His light in us to shine so that all can see our new selves!
