Can you tell I'm excited?
I love holidays (and yes, I consider Halloween a holiday). Any chance I get to decorate the house, get a new outfit/costume and plan a party - I'm in! This year we kicked off our Halloween season with a house party with a Mad Scientist theme. More pics and stories on that later this week.
But for now, I just wanted to show off the awesome pumpkin we carved yesterday with the help of our 2 year old nephew ("help" came in the form of picking out pumpkin seeds one at a time - the kid's meticulous, what can I say?). Admittedly, while I appreciate a well carved pumpkin, I don't actually enjoy the doing of it. Which is why I usually take care of drawing on the template and my husband takes care of the hacking...I mean, carving.
This year, because of my costume (waaaait for it), I decided on a Jack Skellington face template. Those were easy enough to find online, and we decided to use this one.
Easy enough and it didn't take very long to create...except for the seed handling as mentioned earlier.
And the end result - one kick ass pumpkin, ready to be displayed proudly on our porch this Thursday!
"This is Halloween, this is Halloween...Pumpkins scream in the dead of night..."
