Brent mentioned to me early in October that he would love to carve a pumpkin with Savannah this year. Unfortunately, pumpkins are generally hard to come by in Saudi because they are imported. This also means they are very expensive! I kept my eyes out for one but didn't find anything until a few days before Halloween.
This year Brent chose the design of the jack-o-lantern, but I have a feeling that our pumpkins in the future will be wearing princess crowns or jewelry at the least. :)
When I said pumpkins were expensive, let me break it down for you. They are 30 SR a kilo here, which converts to about $3.63 per POUND! The second picture was the largest pumpkin they had, the size I would buy if I were in the US. It costs a mere $52.59! The pumpkin I got was much smaller and cost me about $14.
Once Brent saw the pumpkin after coming home he was ready to dive right into carving it! He and Savannah sat on the back porch and had fun! :) Savannah was really into it at first, but lost interest and decided to color across the table from daddy while he worked. Did I mention that she also wanted to wear her Minnie Mouse ears (she was practicing for the big night)?
