this evening Kelly, Aline, and I carved a pumpkin. Aline has never carved a pumpkin before. She’s from Brazil and they don’t so much share the Halloween traditions. for her first time i’d say she did great. she and kelly looked online to see some examples of pumpkin heads. there are many. my god, the jack-o-lanterns.

we started with the proper tools:

we hollowed out the pumpkin and kelly cleaned and dried the seeds, seasoned them to perfection, and baked them in the oven to provide us with a fiberous snack.

our canvas:

our first draft:

our second draft:

we all took turns carving.

oh, it’s just so scary! until kelly named him Stuart.

that pumpkin is fierce!
