The 2-sided Mr. Strange ... by Kaia, Brittany and Patti

Once upon a time, there were 3 girls who wanted to carve a pumpkin. They didn't know where to find one.

Ashley, Abby and Ainsley had to find a pumpkin treasure map. Abby searched far and wide on the internet and found the map. Abby was sure she knew how to read the map and pointed the way.



So, off they went, in search of a perfect pumpkin. Sometimes they walked, sometimes they used 'The Train'. Ashley got so frustrated because there was no pumpkin in sight.




After a long, difficult trip over hills and valleys using 'The Train',






they found the perfect pumpkin. It was flat enough on the bottom that it wouldn't fall over when it was carved, big enough to carve it's 2-sided face (afterall, the pumpkin, of course, needs to be able to express its different moods), and round enough to look nice.

The girls dug in with knives. They dug in with spoons to scoop out the mess. They sawed, they carved, they dug some more.





And, finally ... the finished product. The 2-sided Mr. Strange.




After all the hard work, they relaxed, dreaming of a day when they will go to Hawaii for more adventures.
