Can you guess whose house this is?
Happy Halloween! Originally I decided not to carve pumpkins this year. My husband was so thrilled about the prospect of not carving pumpkins, that I thought he would break out into a victory dance. Normally he gets stuck with the job of scooping out the seeds and slimy insides otherwise known as guts. I usually host a pumpkin carving party every year, but my kids have outgrown the desire to carve pumpkins, or so I thought. Two days ago my daughter asked when we were going to carve pumpkins. I told her we weren’t. She was disappointed because she had found an idea on pinterest that she wanted to do. My mother’s guilt set in and I succumbed to her wishes. She and I carved pumpkins last night. I like the idea of carving pumpkins, but not the prep work. I prepared myself for the task at hand with rubber gloves and all of the necessary tools for carving. I’m pleasantly happy with my owl and I think my daughter did a great job on her pumpkin. However, I’m a little concerned about her sense of humor. The big eating the little.
Earlier that afternoon I had been to my friends house. At her house not carving pumpkins would be considered sacrilegious. I was inspired by all of her freshly carved pumpkins lined up on her brick front steps. The bottom pumpkin was drawn freehand and carved by her husband. At first glance I thought it was a haunted house, but upon looking closer I realized it was their house. Can you guess whose house it is? I think it’s fairly easy if you know the family. I was impressed because I wouldn’t even be able to draw my house on a piece of a paper much less carve it into a pumpkin. I hope all of the jack-o-lanterns light up night this evening. Don’t forget to leave a comment if you know whose house is on the pumpkin.
Love the pumpkins – very creative!! I do believe I spotted that same pumpkin on the brick steps of the Putnam residence. Very good carving, Bart! What a great night for trick-or-treating! I loved seeing all the kiddos in their cute costumes. Thanks for sharing this!
You are correct Cindy! I knew it wouldn’t take long for someone to get it. Thanks for playing along. I need to get my posts finished quicker so people aren’t receiving them a day later by email.
Good job Cindy! I had to check and see who figured it out first! 🙂 Bart was very pleased his pumpkin got chosen for one of your blog posts Dawn! Thanks!
Similar story at our house. On the way home from school yesterday, Callie & Freddie wanted to stop and buy pumpkins to carve. I tried to talk them out of it, and reluctantly I said yes. Jaren said he wanted me to buy him one too. They had a lot of fun carving them and they turned out really cute! Mickey Mouse (Freddie), Powercat (Callie) & pumpkin with its guts coming out of its mouth (Jaren)! Glad I gave in, there won’t be many more years of these moments…
That’s so true Denise. I should be glad she still wants to carve pumpkins. I remember the days when she wanted me to dress up like her for Halloween. We were both 50’s girls one year. She would be mortified now if we dressed up alike.
