It had been years since we carved pumpkins, although Jon and I have bought pumpkins every Halloween since we got together in 2001. This year we waited until Halloween night, and then I was like THEY ARE GOING DOWN. I was covered in pumpkin guts by the end of it, but we got it done. Surprisingly, I don’t feel super special about this.
