It's All Hallow's Eve!
It's HALLOWEEN!
It's Fright Night!
(When the beggars ask for a treat, or threaten a trick or two!)
Let's hope "Smell my feet" isn't one of the tricks-
though last night my eldest daughter
had trick or treat and a cute little beggar actually said it to them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the Parade of the Jack O'Lanterns
from our annual Pumpkin Carving Party this year!
Our eldest daughter Evelyn carved the witch
and my youngest daughter Katie
created the traditional happy-faced one!
created the traditional happy-faced one!
My younger sister Teresa carved the spider
and my hubs did the demon one.
And that elongated gourd-like pumpkin
is a fluke that grew in our garden from last
year's pumpkin carving.
We had 6 matching perfect pumpkins.
Was a nice surprise not having to buy ours this year!
My youngest niece Reagan made the Ninja turtle one,
our youngest daughter's fiancee Jeff created the scary skull,
and our son-in-law Daniel carved the happy one.
Our friend Sarah created the black cat
and her husband Kyle carved the Frankenstein!
I'd say all in all there are very talented carvers in our midst!
We weren't the only ones who grew pumpkins this year -
here's Katie holding up a perfect round little one
from the garden they keep at Jeff's.
I love her "Day of the Dead" tee shirt.
BTW - there is a new animated movie musical out
called Book of Life
that's kinda neat and all about Day of the Dead's history.
That's what we did on her birthday, Oct 17th -
at her request all went to that movie together.
She's been collecting DofD artwork, and making her own
for quite some time now.
Have another fun and wonderful Halloween!
And don't let those tricksters getchya!

Great photos- looks like you had a lot of fun carving with your family! I love Reagan's name. I have only known one other female Reagan. How cool that you grew the pumpkins. Would love to do that sometime. Thanks for your regular blog visits, Michele. Happy November :)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, a decorating/designing gene must run in your family! I LOVED seeing all these incredible pumpkin designs!
