This event was my first time carving a pumpkin. During Halloween, I only dressed up or went to trick or treat events. This Halloween was even more meaningful because I was able to try something new with my friends. Three of us worked on the pumpkin and our carved pumpkin showed unique characteristics of each of us. I never thought about carving two different faces on the pumpkin, but with several people working on a single pumpkin, our finished product had several expressions. This time, mainly drew on the pumpkin with the sparkly Sharpie markers that were provided rather than actually using carving tools. This event provided a great opportunity for me to be creative and bond with my friends.
