Pumpkin Fun

This will be the fourth Halloween that Ryan and I have known each other and the third that we have been together.  How sad is it that this is our first year carving pumpkins together???  Better late than never, I suppose!  We begin our pumpkin fun at a local pumpkin patch...

We both picked our favorite pumpkins...


Then they sat on the back porch for a week.  Our poor pumpkins sat there unceremoniously, got rained on, and occasionally sniffed by the dog.  Until Saturday when we went to town...

Ryan carved an Incognito pumpkin...

...and I carved a swirly, girly pumpkin.

Tonight they sat glowing on our front stoop welcoming the trick-or-treaters.  I suspect their eventual fate will find them smashed on the street by a gang of unruly teenagers.  That remains to be seen, but until then....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
