Early Halloween Fun

Since we had the Jenkins-Lardi clan in town, we decided to go ahead and carve pumpkins for Halloween. It was a nice relaxing activity after a day that started pretty early.


Here are a few photos of our finished products:

That's Eugene's on the left, and Adam's on the right.

We had a couple of stencil and pumpkin-carving tool kits, so it was a little more highbrow than the pumpkin carving days of yore, when we just stuck sharp knives in the pumpkins and hoped for the best.

Mine is on the left (Adam said it looks like it's high), Genevieve's in the middle, and Stacey's is on the right.

He's a little intense, eh?

Josh and Stacey do their thing.

Eug gets ready to work on his. He used a really cool stencil of a skeleton face.

Once we got them all fixed up, we took them outside for a test light - they all looked great. Thankfully, no neighborhood houligans came along long last night and smashed them. They might be moldy before Oct. 31 rolls around, but we'll see.

I think I've only ever carved a pumpkin once...and maybe not even that.

Aunt Janey says: Hey at least you are in a neighborhood where there aren't too many hooligans. If there are any left they would probably have to whack the pumpkin with their canes. Good to see some YOUNG activites going on again at 7040 Cody. Pumpkins looked great and with it being cold it will help them stay good until Halloween. May come trick or treating, beware!
