Esther found a pretty round one and Luke was immediately drawn to the strange white ones that were there.

We spent quite a bit of time choosing “the biggest one”(of course!) for David.  He really wanted a huge one and we looked at quite a few before finding one that didn’t have any bad spots or holes anywhere on them.  He wants to make it into pumpkin pie, and I told him it would probably make about 10 pumpkin pies, so he’s pretty excited about that!

This is Esther today after she told me she wants Princess Leia hair.  She was laughing so hard after I created this!  I think I have to work on my hairdressing technique.  The kids decided she looked more like a cow with horns than Princess Leia!
