Pumpkin Carving

By Uncle Hans

We had our annual Pumpkin carving/Salsa party the other night. ..............

 

..............once the pumpkins were cleaned out and ready to carve, we took a break for spaghetti.........

.....we ran short of time (one of us has an early bedtime as she has to go to first grade school in the morning), so we started with the salsa as the carving was going on............

....we made three batches. One for Jake (extra jalapenos), one for Renee and I, and one for Hannah (she puts corn and black beans in hers)........

.............we roasted up some seeds, mmmmmmmmmmm good!.............

...........Renee found an idea for a "pumpkin in a pumpkin" in a magazine so our jack-o-lantern has a poor little guy in prison..........

...........The others looked pretty good, too. Jake is the artist for one, Hannah for one and Annie and Laurel for the painted one........

......the usual "ooh. aah" picture. (oh! the memories of that first Blatz Pumpkin in Milwaukee!!).......

.....a picture is worth a thousand words.

(We are very short of little people, so 5 adults had a lot of fun and we used Annie as an excuse................)

Happy Halloween !!!
