It is time for another spooky Halloween! This year we opted for more traditional designs, as opposed to last year. However, we did have fun designing and carving the large pumpkin.

Do you know who it is?

Have a spooky night, everyone!

Did you have a model for the large pumpkin?  It has a nice big smile, wider
than its very large eyes!  Those are all great carvings!

It's Jack, right? Not our nephew though :P

As in Jack of the lantern?  I was thinking it was Freddie or Marabelle.

Oooh, Alix knows the answer... it IS Jack.  But if it's not our Jack, then
which Jack is it?  Very mysterious!

And yes, I did have some pictures to use
as a model, but I drew the design on the pumpkin freehand.  (We used stencils
for the other two.)

Aunt Rena wants to know how you got the lake effect.

Nice job. Neat picture. I cut out two pumpkins from orange file folders and
taped them in the window with nightlights behind them. It's a tradition. Hey is
that reflection from your floor? It sure is a cool shot.

I put my camera on the lowest tripod I had, so it was almost sitting on the
floor.	The pumpkins are sitting on the hearth in front of my fireplace, so the
"lake effect" is actually a reflection off the hardwood floor in my living
room.

You two are so talented! Our pumpkins never turn out like yours, even with
stencils.  My guess for middle pumpkin is....character from "Tim Burton" movie?
Can't remember name at this moment though.... hope you had a great weekend!

Thanks, I think they turned out well.  A few of our guests on Halloween night
correctly identified the middle pumpkin as being
