Happy Halloween!
I did not carve a pumpkin this year. We took the kids to the pumpkin patch, where I took a ton of photos, and I took more pictures while everyone worked on their pumpkins, but I didn't do one myself. Pumpkins must have lots of acidity, because when I helped my son scoop the guts out of his, I ended up with a prickly red rash on my inner arm. Not too fun, so I washed up and stuck to my picture taking duty.
This pumpkin was created by my husband, John. The eyes are hard boiled eggs, peeled ones, and the teeth are pumpkin seeds. Yes that IS a green pumpkin. Disgusting, isn't it? Can you tell that he likes to watch scary movies even when it's not Halloween?
This afternoon when the kids and I came back from school, we disturbed a squirrel who was eating one of my son's pumpkins. That one looks pretty creepy now, too, with all the bite marks around its mouth and nose.
So, do you prefer scary and gross pumpkins, or do you like the smiley, friendly ones?
