Jack-O-Lanterns 2010

Not too long ago, Kevin, Steve, Bob, and I went to Curtis Orchard to go pick our pumpkins for Halloween. Much to my surprise, the patch wasn't as picked-over as it has been in previous years. I think it was last year I had to go deep into the patch to find the potentials for last Halloween. From what I remember, last year, when I went searching for pumpkins, the weather was dark and dreary and cold. During the day! This year was warm and sunny, so it wasn't too treacherous going in the middle of the field.

Anyway, I found two pumpkins for carving, but Kevin only wanted one. I think he just wanted them for festive decoration, but I wanted to carve them into jack-o-lanterns. I begged Kevin to buy the two I picked, and he did. Cut to today I carved them into delightful jack-o-lanterns. I got home from college just before 4pm, and I set to work immediately. One hour later I was done. Since I actually didn't carve any pumpkins last year, one of my goals was to recreate "Frankenstein" from 2008. This year's variation is different, but I think he has character. I like both of my creations.

I hope they have a happy Halloween this year. I had fun carving them.
