Crime of the Century

  Monday we carved our pumpkins in great efficiency.  Avery and Harper designed their pumpkins, and Daryl dutifully carved them.  Emery didn't have much input for her pumpkin other than that it should be happy.  The girls' pumpkins all taken care of Daryl and I set to carving our own.  I must say that our amazing sister-in-law Aimee grew the pumpkins, and we loved the two green ones that we got from her.  Daryl decided to make the almost perfectly round green pumpkin a Death Star.  When he was done all agreed it looked great.
  We were kind of tired that night, so we put the pumpkins out on the stoop without posing them all for pictures.  Daryl did take a quick picture with his phone of the Death Star.  Little did we know that would be the only picture we would have of his magnificent pumpkin.  In the morning when Daryl went to go see his pumpkin it was gone.  There was only the empty space between mine and Harper's pumpkin where the Death Star once sat.  In the mere ten or so hours that it sat outside it was spirited away.  Now the way we decorate for Halloween is forever changed.  We now have several decorations that our motion activated, that will start a ruckus when someone approaches.  Maybe this will discourage future pumpkin thefts.







Luke really wanted to help out.



After this Luke was removed from Daryl's lap, so he could actually get some carving done.

Here's Avery and Emery's pumpkins.

Here's Harper's pumpkin, the cat is in the place where the Death Star once sat, and then my pumpkin.
