Happy (early) Halloween!
By Laurie | October 28, 2008
As long as I’ve known Dave, we haven’t really celebrated Halloween since his birthday is on October 31. Last year we had just moved into our new house a few weeks before and we had dinner plans with my family before coming home for cake. Even though the house was dark outside, we had trick-or-treaters come to the door ringing the bell while we were cutting his cake.
We didn’t bother with decorations or anything last year, and we didn’t buy any this year either. We did purchase a pumpkin over the weekend though, and for the first time as a “family” we designed, cleaned, and carved it. We think it turned out pretty good for our first try. I don’t remember the last time I made one with my family. My brother and I used to each draw a face that my dad would carve on two pumpkins, a large and small one. I think we even stopped doing that when I got to high school.
Anyway… here’s our creation:
We’re planning on going out on Friday night, but figured we might be home in time to hand out candy to a few late night kids before bed. If not, we’ve enjoyed lighting our pumpkin this week. It seems like it is shrinking, so maybe we should have waited a few days before carving it. When does everyone else carve theirs? I hope everyone has a happy and save holiday!
Here’s the birthday boy!
