Halloween Getting Closer…
Halloween is just around the corner so we took advantage of the great weather to carve some pumpkins today.
Robert decided he wanted to carve a biohazard symbol. So he looked it up on the web, downloaded a photo, re-sized it (with a little help), transferred it to his pumpkin and cut it out.
(After he cleaned the guts out. Once you’re double digits in age, you gotta expect to do that yourself. Plus, he did his own on the field trip a couple weeks ago.)
It turned out really well! I’m looking forward to seeing it lit up on the steps.
I put less thought into mine: a traditional spiky teethed jack-o-lantern. Sarah came back from Boston in time to carve her pumpkin before dinner; she chose a shark — which also turned out really well.
I’m hoping they will help to attract enough trick-or-treaters that we don’t have too much of the absurd amount of candy Robert and I bought left over. To be fair to him, he was much more rational on how much we needed — I wanted to get an extra bag or two, just in case.
