wow Laura those are amazing! My husband was threatening to get out the power tools this year, but he relented. He did manage to carve the Obama sunrise logo-thingy into one pumpkin - a popular theme in our neighborhood.
It's pouring rain here and VG has been home sick all week, so it might not be a super-happy Halloween chez nous . . . we'll see.
I let Halloween crawl past this year. We have one uncarved pie pumpkin moldering on the dining room table. The boys would even wear capes this year, when they went to a friend's Halloween party.
Those pumpkins are so cool! The pirate ship and the witch! And look how happy and proud The Kid looks, carving. :)
Thanks, Laura. The Kid was very very proud and displayed a huge amount of patience carving the pumpkins. Of course the weather turned warm and they started to mold very quickly - they barely made it through Friday night!
I am acutely aware that as he grows up Halloween will become less magical for him. We try to squeeze in as much magic as we can - for as long as he'll put up with it!

Those are awesome! Ours is a sad little attempt in comparison (but I still like it). :o)

VM, I've seen several Obama pumpkins. I waish I'd thought of that!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lainey, I'm sure your pumpkins are lovely. I actually drew a face on a smallish pumpkin with a sharpie!
