| CAREFULLY REMOVE THE LID BUT MAKE SURE YOU GRUNT WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT. MAKES EVERYBODY THINK YOU'RE WORKING HARDER |

i've always loved halloween. love everything about it. the ghosts. the goblins. trick~or~treating. carving pumpkins. we never got to carve many pumpkins when i was little. cost too much. my grandmom, who grew up in the great depression, would always say.....don't worry hun, we'll get a pumpkin after halloween when they go on clearance! lol. and i wonder where i get my frugile ways from. when i was old enough to buy pumpkins on my own, it was nothing for me to get 3 or 4 pumpkins and carve them all by myself. i haven't done as many since ryan and samantha were born but i still love it. i had the best time sitting out there yesterday with them. it's therapy for me. i bet the pumpkin doesn't feel the same way huh. poor thing. anywaysssss....love the smell of pumpkins when they're lit up. just love...love...love...pumpkins. i've got an extra one stashed that i'm gonna carve when the kids are off to school and i'm all by myself. group therapy is ok. put i prefer one~on~one therapy better.........
Are you one of those that uses a template or do you design your own?
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you Sue...as far as loving pumpkins! I love the way they smell cooking. I did a scrapbook page of Nathan cutting his several years ago and it is soooo funny his face as he stuck his hand in the pumpkin for the first time and felt the "guts". SO FUNNY!
ohhhhhhhh fredda! i'm gonna show my age! i've been carving pumpkins wayyyyyyy before they ever had templates. i used one once and didn't really care for it. i like the challenge of coming up with something on my own. guess that's why i haven't done many since sam & ryan were born. they don't give you much time or space to be creative. but they're getting older now so just maybe i'll be able to get something done. even if it means doing it while they're at school! lol.
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I designed and sculpted ours this year. It was the first time in many years that I didn't do it alone. It was way more fun doing it with him. We named it B.A. Jack. I'll have to send you a photo. - Mandy
ReplyDeletemangoooooo...yes, send me a picture of it. i'd love to see it. i agree it's fun carving with others but you don't have to carve your brothers pumpkin for him or pull the guts out for him. lol. not that i'm wishing my kids years away but it'll be nice when they can do some of it on their own. they did remove most of the guts by themselves. i just had to scrape. it was cool tho.
