And it looks just like him!
LOL. That's just what I said!
Hey! Is that nice?
Sharpening the knife is your specialty.
I thought it was a smiling Vulcan.

He has such a nice whetstone.
Ha! I love it.
First of all, I have more hair than that.
And I don't wear it in a top knot.
White pumpkin?
RAAAAAACISSST!
Not bad, but can you top this?
Oh, wow. It DOES look like him!
Old school gourd carving.
It looks to me like a "Kaus-o-lantern!"
I got the impession of a Jack-o-Nicholson-lantern.
I'm going to the neighborhood picnic before the trick or treaters go out. I hope the candy beggars are done by 8 this year -- it's a school night, after all.
Our pumpkins.
My three year old picked out all the pumpkins and painted the one on the left. I carved the one in the middle, and my husband carved the one on the right.
Here I was trying to make them benign looking because our children are so young, and now I notice that my three year old has created the scariest one.
Lifehacker posted about preserving your carved pumpkin. Short story: spritz inside of pumpkin with weak bleach solution. Prevents mold.
My best carved pumpkin was a skull. A plastic gun was shoved into the side where an ear would be and the seeds and goop were pulled out through gashes and left in a pile on the opposite side.
KKK PUMPKIN! Where's the sheet?
.....sorcery and wizards....
Sly.
Very traditional!
Happy Halloween & watch out for Zombies
some amazing pumpkin carving

Now if these cuties came to my door to trick or treat, I might enjoy Halloween a bit more than I do.
Instead this happened...
The first little kid who knocked was shoving himself in front of his brothers and sisters to be first in line. When he saw my little orange and black bags of Halloween pretzels, he ran away.
Good work Meade!
"A sharp knife cuts clean."
"Hey! Is that nice?"
Nice? Who says that I'm not being nice?
I only said that it looks just like you. You know -- incredibly handsome with obvious features revealing happiness, courage, and integrity of character.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find that you would think I would mean anything else!
When he saw my little orange and black bags of Halloween pretzels...
They sound adorable Penny. Did you home-make them?
I hope your next visitors are more respectful.
The Meade-o-lantern may need some skin cream to slow down his vertical wrinkles and help with his dry skin. Nice job, guys.
Shocked huh? Wwwell...
Okay, full sized candy bar for you.
Hey! Just one. Not all you can grab! What, were raised in a litter of wild dogs?
By the way, who exactly are you supposed to be?
The Coon?
BOH-RING.
Just kidding.
What, no teeth!
When he saw my little orange and black bags of Halloween pretzels, he ran away.
I don't blame the kid. Anyone who gives out "healtheee snacks!" instead of candy on Halloween is... well, let's just say it's not in the spirit of the holiday. Fullsize candy bars at chez jaed.
(Now the adults who come trick-or-treating, to them I am Scrooge. I should have gotten some pretzel packs to offer the adults. Bah.)
Sweet.
My wife made one that looked like Elmo. Squirrels ate it. That's why, when driving, I aim at squirrels. If you ever read I crashed into a tree, you'll know I missed the squirrel (unless he's squished under the car).
