I admit that one of the things I most lamented about after cutting my hand is that my super sweet pumpkin carvings would never be. We were talking about going to our ward party on Friday and I was saying how lame our trunk will be for the trunk or treat with no glowing pumpkins around it. The pumpkins were our only decorations, so it would just be a trunk with candy. Lame.
Remember how I said I had one pumpkin all cleaned out and ready to carve? Alan woke up early to carve one of my designs into it before I woke up. I really love that guy.
Can you tell what it is? I will get a picture of it with a candle in it tonight. This year's theme was going to be "Hunger Games" and I was going to try my hand at carving faces. I was going to have a Katniss, Peeta, and a big Mockingjay pin.
A little update on my hand: I met with the orthopedic specialist and I will be going in next Wednesday (Halloween) for surgery. He will extend the existing cut to find the ends of the tendons and reattach them. After the surgery I am looking at 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy to get mobility back in my finger.

Aww, what a great guy. And what a great pumpkin cutter, too! I definitely knew what it was when I saw it... and I haven't even read the books or seen the movies yet.
And Happy Halloween to you! (Ok, not really.) Hopefully the surgery is quick and successful. I assume they'll put you under for it? That would be nice.
P.S. For real on this comment verification thing. I really just failed again.
