Jerry told me a few days ago that he has never carved a pumpkin for halloween. I couldn't let this go on another year so this afternoon we hit the local pumpkin patch and picked out a couple of pumpkins. We had lofty ideas of doing a stenciled pumpkin on one but found that the pumpkin was just too big, and thick to do that intricate of carving. So we stuck with some free hand Jack O'Lantern faces.
We had a blast! It felt good to bring a piece of my childhood to Jerry. Maybe next year we'll get all fancy with our rotund squash.
Nice jack-o-lanterns. I'm glad that Jerry has finally been able to experience a time-honored Halloween tradition.
