Pumpkins & Prizes

This is Marie and me at the pumpkin carving FHE. Marie drove and bought me a pumpkin too. SOOO NICE! I won a prize tonight for "simplest Jack O' Lantern". Simple as in uncomplicated I hope, and not in that it is not too bright. It is right now perched on my window ledge. I won a bag of peanut M&M's. FANCY!! I have a few secrets for carving a simple JOL*. Use a small pumpkin, use an apple corer, and make a hole in the bottom to remove the seeds. Then you sit the pumpkin over the candle, no messy top to worry about removing. TA-DA! I placed a single seed via a bit of gum under an eye for a tear. A sad JOL.
*JOL short for Jack O'Lantern
