Annual Carving Pumpkin Night

This years carving pumpkins was held at our house. Earlier that day Ashlan and I had gone to the dermatologist to get some moles re-removed off my back and foot and shave a little of Ashlan's birthmark off her foot to be biopsied. I had gone in a month earlier to get my 4 moles biopsied and they all came back as Atypical or dysplastic, which meant I needed to get them removed completely. The big freckle on my foot had just appeared maybe 6 years ago, so I was getting a little worried about it. When he originally took the one off my foot, it took me at least 2 weeks to get back to normal walking. It was painful to walk on and so I would walk on my tiptoe. My calf and shin would then get sore because I don't usually use those muscles to walk with. I was a bit nervous going in this time for fear that I would have a hard time walking for 2 weeks again. Thankfully he stitched it up this time and it was a much better recovery. The biopsy came back perfect and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

We had a fun night carving pumpkins. The Watts' decided to paint theirs this year. The Gotti's had theirs pre-carved out which cut down their carving time in half. We decided that is what we will be doing from now on...as much fun it is to get all gooey and pull the guts out, it's too much work with young children. After pictures on the porch we went back inside to eat banana splits.
