Jack-O-Lanterns

We carved our pumpkins tonight. Stella drew the face on her pumpkin all by herself and I carved it as close to her drawings as possible. Mike carved Porter's and it turned out great.


We took the kids to the basement to let them see their pumpkins glowing in the dark since it was still light out. They really loved seeing them all lit up.



I had to throw in a photo of "Pumpkin Porter" from last Halloween.

yeah - the porter pumpkin is one of my favorites!!!

I'm bummed b/c I have to do the pumpkin carving alone this year. That's going to be a lot of work. Oh well. Cady has princess cutouts for the pumpkin so that should be lame.

love the house color!! Great job,guys

I am still laughing. Pumpkin Porter is priceless! You did a great job on the pumpkins. We have to wait until the very last moment as it is still too stinking hot and the pumpkins wilt too much before Halloween. What a fun night you all had!
