Halloween Too...

We carved pumpkins last night!  I forgot how much I hate jamming my hand into a cold gourd and yanking out slimy innards.  But we had fun!



This one is mine.  I'm a simple guy.  I think he kind of looks like a Dragon Quest enemy with his big eyes and mouth that scream "cute but menacing."



And this is Robb's.  Recognize him?  You might if you read Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  It's Fregley.  And it's a damn good carving, too!  I was way impressed with his results.



He's all lit up and ready to cast a fire spell.



Fregley's all lit up and ready to show you his "secret freckle."  Little creeper...



All in all, an adorable Halloween!  


Oh, and I learned a lesson.  Pumpkins make scarier faces when you point them at a blank wall:



Much more menacing!  


Happy Halloween!

Great work guys! BTW, you're not alone in your hatred of pumpkin guts -- I can't stand them either! In fact, that's why I haven't carved a pumpkin in the last 3-4 years.

Great work on those pumpkins!

Thanks, both! I was interested in your reaction, Brian. I had a friend tell me that my pumpkin looked like a Goomba from Mario. I don't know why I didn't see that before!

I like your punpkins - yours looks more scary to me than Robb's - simple is sometimes good for that. Happy Halloween to you both.

You know, I can *totally* see where your friend is coming from. Your pumpkin's face does look like a Goomba! Can't believe I didn't see it before...
