Almost Halloween!

Another year, another weekend to carve the pumpkins in advance of Halloween....This year's forecast is calling for rain, thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Sandy...It's going to be a wet one I guess...Not much fun for the kids all around...

My daughter is dressing up as a poodle....My son, as Woody from Toy Story...Both will be cute as a button, as always...

So, on the weekend before Halloween, we always carve two pumpkins...My kids get their choice of what they would like to have carved.  We never do the traditional jack-o lantern face.   It's always of a character that they really enjoy...

Here's 2009.....
Cat In the Hat

 And Blues Clues..

Here's 2011....

Pooh Bear and a cat face...

And for 2012....
Casper the Friendly Ghost

And Pac Man..

The way it goes is...Daddy helps the kids gut the pumpkins...and I do the carving...

Lots of seeds to roast for Daddy...and lots of pumpkin to boil up and freeze for when Grandma comes at Christmas..She always makes pumpkin pie...

And this year, for the very first time, our pumpkins came from Poppies garden in PEI....Thanks Poppy!  Good job!
