Okay, so I don't really have anything specific to blog about today. I am blogging from my sister's computer. We are visiting family in Vancouver for the weekend, to take part in the annual family pumpkin carving party. This is the 11th year we have had this tradition. For me, it is my favorite part of the Halloween season. A few years ago we started having all the kids in the family dress up in their costumes for the party, and for our little family it has become our main celebration of Halloween.
My dilemma now is...what kind of pumpkin should I carve this year? I have already done the usual and traditional styles of pumpkins, as well as a movie star, a pirate, and etc. This year I was feeling stumped. I wanted to do a pumpkin with an X files theme, but since I also have to supervise the carving of five other pumkins for boys ages 9 and under, the X files route seemed a little too complicated. Then I thought I might stoop so low as to carve a puking pumpkin... juvenile yes, but easy to do.
Then came the pumpkin selection. There were two choices...large, or small...no in between. I was just going to grab any pumpkin I could find that wasn't rotting, when my sister stumbled on this year's pumpkin. It is beautiful, and not a typical pumpkin. Its smaller on the bottom half than on the top half, and looks exactly like...a skull. So my decision is made. I hope it turns out well.
Sorry this blog is a bit on the boring side. I didn't want to go a whole week in between blogs. I will do better next time!
