Pumpkin time

Halloween is kind of a big deal around our house. Like, a HUGE deal. Ranks right up there with Christmas. This is because Brad is a Halloween fanatic. He will deny this, tell you Christmas is his favorite holiday, but if you could see the way his face lights up when he watches "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin," there's no denying it.

On Sunday, we went a nursery by our house and got pumpkins. The poor things had to sit outside in the rain for two days until they finally got carved last night. I was feeling a bit less creative, so I decided to try out one of the fancy stencil thingys that came with our pumpkin carving kit - you be the judge on how that turned out. I think that Brad's pumpkin really captures his true personality this year... :)

PS Yup, that would be clean clothes drying on a rack in the background in that first shot. Our apartment is bigger, but not that big and someone thought that the dining area would be a great place to put the closet with the washer and dryer. Um, yeah.

pumpkin seeds, which we (ie Brad) may attempt to roast

that is a special brand of crazy folks. I do love him so!
