Sam said that his pumpkin would be a surprise. Everyone else chose patterns from the Pumpkin Masters carving kit. He proceeded with the exactitude of an almost 5-year-old, punching holes to trace a mouth pattern that he then sawed. I helped with eye shape, but he did all of the cutting. He wanted a triangle nose, but it came out a little curvy. This is my favorite of the family pumpkins this year. It's so primitive and graphic, a well-suited expression of Halloween. If an adult had made this, they would have messed it up. This jack-o-lantern is so authentic, and very much a "surprise."
It happened on a cold, dark evening. Note that Abby has bare legs. She stripped down so that she wouldn't get her clothes messy. Or they got messy, and she didn't want to be dirty. Or maybe it was just time to change clothing again, and she hadn't managed to get her pajamas on yet.
Very spooky pumpkins.

Wow, you've got so many fun new posts up! I love Sam's raw pumpkin, too. I'm glad the moose survived the Republican beatings, and that they just ignored the dark matter. I had lots of fun seeing the costumes Lily, Sam, and Emma described to me yesterday. They all looked great!
P.S. I don't think you should add a bipartisan door. Blue blood is good.
