Just Call Me Martha . . . .

. . . Stewart, that is. :) This year I decided that I was tired of the same ol' pumpkin carving routine so I bought some patterns and some little detailing saws and decided to get creative. Oh yeah, how cool are THESE jack-o-lanterns?? My personal favorite is the ghost - the other is a funny face that Noah picked out - and of course my stupid camera doesn't do justice to these masterpieces - I tried a hundred different shots and couldn't really get any good ones (glare, shadows, etc.), but at least you get the idea. This was even kind of fun, and better yet, the boys LOVED them. They were very happy with the results. Here they are preparing the canvases for the artist (that would be me):

Actually, here's the story behind the story: (Jack and Noah don't like how the inside FEELS, so Dad got scoop-out duty) . . .

Jack and Noah wondered if we could keep them forever. Um, no. Yuck.

Havin' an awfully busy week here - stuff going on every night! The big event, of course, is tomorrow night - Halloween party at school and then trick or treating around the neighborhood. Saturday is Mark's birthday, so there'll be lots of celebrating going on, and a few surprises lined up . . . . Stay tuned . . . .
