It's that time again ...

They've only been wanting to dig into our pumpkins for like three weeks now. We finally did the other night while Daddy was in class.
Jell refused to ever touch the stuff, only willing to scoop it out with a spoon. Meri, on the other hand, got nice and dirty - I love how she's up to her elbow in one of our smaller pumpkins!
I think it's tradition now - we had it out and glowing for the Blazers' opening night again this year and it helped them to a win :) Course it was lit last night too, but we won't talk about that.
Then Jell absolutely insisted we make one into a witch, and after her not liking any designs we could find online, I made up this one while she slept and she loved it in the morning:
I can't take the credit here, this one did come from the internet, but it was so funny (Jell didn't stop laughing hysterically for like a minute straight) that we had to have our own Cannibal monster pumpkin. "Poor, poor baby pumpkin" she kept saying after she stopped laughing.
Now we're finally ready for Halloween, come rain or shine! And from all indications, come rain it is!

Can you come design pumpkins for me? That witch is awesome! I never have any good ideas when I start to carve...where has all my creativity gone?
