"Oh, Bats," said I yesterday afternoon. "I better start peddling home early today." With the excitement of trick or treating in the air, I felt the mood of festivities sweeping the city and wanted to get home and start dinner so that we could eat the second Paul got home from work. Why? Pumpkin carving of course!
Paul had bought a pumpkin last week and specialized pumpkin carving tools, along with patterns to use for designing. He also bought ingredients for us to make a pumpking pie, which we will probably do this weekend.
After dinner, we cleared the counters, lined up the instruments and chose our pumpkin pattern (we were going to go with a traditional Jack look, but decided to try one of the elaborate designs).
Scoopin out the innards
Time to get serious-- we worked simultaneously so we could get the intricate pattern carved before midnight.
Bragging time! I have to admit that even though we didn't come up with this creation ourselves, this is the best lantern I have ever been a part of making!
