A spur of the moment idea brought loads of creativity and fun to our Home with the residents, sisters, volunteers, and staff. I never dreamed there could be so many different ways to decorate a pumpkin. There was the traditional jack o’lantern, of course, and then a ballerina, a royal blue Avatar pumpkin, an adorable caterpillar, a frog with huge, overgrown eyeballs, Mickey & Minnie Mouse for Disney enthusiasts and one pumpkin that even resembled the infamous ET. Mostly, Residents worked in teams, with the Sisters fully engaged in carving and gutting the pumpkins, but there were a few individuals intent on doing their own thing! Afterwards, award winning cake & ice cream was served!
