Six Little Pumpkins

Remember our trip to the pumpkin farm? Well, despite the squirrels best attempts to devour our loot, we managed to still carve a few of them. This year we took a page from Martha Stewart and tackled a cityscape and some traditional jack-o-lanterns.

Anna assists in the critical "scoop out the junk" phase.



Dad tackles the most difficult pumpkin in the bunch.



After:




I drew the building outlines on two pumpkins with a sharpie, but then Mike had the brilliant idea to use some leftover black paint from the front porch railing touch up he tackled this summer. Martha Stewart's version was, of course, a bit more professional looking, but I was pretty proud of how it turned out!

This year I handled all the carving myself while Mike mulched the leaves in the yard. It was a lot of fun! Anna got into and we managed to get almost everything carved during Abe's morning nap. That alone was a major score.




Spooky jack-0-lanterns make their deput.... and a city skyline glimmers in the dark.

Happy Halloween!
