Halloween!
So this may be hard to believe, but I carved my first pumpkin today… ever. My mother might counter this 
with a failed attempt in 1980, but this was my first real go at it.
I told Aaron that he could draw a face on the pumpkin for me to carve… He did, but what he drew was not realistic for my carving skills… at least not in the time allotted (I planned to spend no more than 20 minutes on this venture…it IS a work day!). I did follow the basic outline for the eyes (including brows) and nose, but the mouth was really an impromptu custom on-the-fly job.
Jack-o did lure a couple dozen trick-or-treaters into our lair, and they were well rewarded with potato chips, chocolates, and rockets. Witches and princesses, a spider and even a kid dressed up as a pumpkin all feasted on our booty!
Until next year, when hopefully I will allot a little more time to carving!
