Our great pumpkin carvers. We got these great pumpkins and others for $.09 per pound!
Our smart pumpkins determined years ago which pumpkins will have more seeds when picking them out by their "physical characteristics".
Ashley likes eating the seeds and doesn't mind gutting pumpkins. Alex likes experiementing for with flavors, his favorite is garlic salt but just about throws up gutting pumpkins.
Alex goofed up his design so the carvings are not yet ready to be unveiled. This is why you have to draw out your design and submit your plan to mom before cutting. Its my fault, I approved his design but didn't supervise the actual carving. Fortunately they were only 9 cents a pound so he gets a do-over.
Saturday we tricked the kids. They thought we were going shopping - they are not great window shoppers. We had lunch at Sams Club then got back in the vehicle and went to Six Flags for Fright Fest. We only went on one ride, the American Eagle. It is much scarier in the dark when it is cold and you close your eyes! We also saw some frightastic shows and haunted attractions. Dead Man's Party was a great zombie show. The Human Freak Show was truly freaky. No, that guy is crazy! We visited Necrioikus: Haunted City of the Dead. The best part for us parental units - was taking the kids into the Mausoleum of Terror: The Horror Heart of Necropolis. It was a haunted house of decaying citizens of the Capital of Fright. The kids were scared good - parents were pleased. :) Can't wait to go back Friday night!

And between them they rocked the Jack O'Lantern world.
I'm glad you enjoy the fright. Did the kids "enjoy" it or did they just tollerate it?
Looking forward to some fantastic Jack O'Lantern pictures.
Ashley liked the haunted house - she is a tough cookie. She was our leader but somehow got seperated and ahead of us. Someone from another group was holding onto her for protection. Alex was in between Drew & I. He was SCARED! A general note: Dre & Alex can not walk through the house without turning at least one light on in every room - then leave them on when they are done. Are they both a little scared of the dark?
Naw! Nothin' scares him.
He gets that from his mom. She taught him that switches only turn lights 'ON'. They don't know how they go 'off', cause they only turn them on.
Don't tell them that it is us who follow and turn them off again and again.
Dad
