18 October 2020: I carved a pumpkin.

Dear Mom,

I think you'd be smirking at my facetious antics. The girls, Nate, and I have been spending time the past couple days carving pumpkins together. 

Aria's has flowers, hearts, and a peace sign, Machaela carved a chinchilla into hers, and Nathan said his is going to be Mario. 

I had no idea what design to cut into my pumpkin canvas. Nate suggested "Peach" to go with his Mario Bros theme. The girls agreed. I didn't have any better ideas of my own, so I obliged.
 
I worked really hard on it and was honestly kind of impressed with the outcome. Smooth lines, decent shapes... it was easily the best one I'd ever carved... but when I showed them the finished result, they didn't seem as thrilled with my efforts as I was. They rolled their eyes and said it looks nothing like her. 😆

I hereby present to you, "Princess Peach" (and your favorite fruit). I still think it's my best pumpkin masterpiece to date, regardless. 

I miss you, Mom.

Love always,
"Pookie"
