Happy Haunting!


Hubby, kiddo, and I carved some jack-o-lanterns last night. I didn't bother buying one of the carving kits this year. Thought we'd do just one big pumpkin with a simple face. Hubby carved the big one (mad face at kiddo's request). Kiddo was having so much fun that I tried to carve the "ornamental" pumpkins that I had in a basket. Not so easy without the kit (used a paring knife and a grapefruit knife). Anyway, it was fun. We roasted our pumpkin seeds and seasoned them with salt and cayenne (a little too liberally by kiddo), so they were pretty spicy. They'd make a good beer snack. Anyway, hope you and your goblins have fun trick or treating tonight!

Wish I could see little Ewan in his Halloween costume. Have a fun time, little guy. The pumpkins look great. Seems as if you would be pretty good with a knife now- didn't you take a knife course recently ?

My, that is quite a large pumpkin! It took me a good 40 seconds to figure out what "cr" stood for on the little one. In my defense, I've been taking tests at work all day, so my brain is a similar consistency to pumpkin guts. And I chickened out on carving...just have two sad little pumpkins sitting on the front porch!
