Today is the best most festive day of the whole year. :D
Here are the pumpkins the honey and I carved up on Sunday. His pumpkin is the big one on the left. Mine is the one on the right with Bettie Davis eyes. *L* I even gave him a clove beauty mark. His name is Marvin if you're wondering. *grin* I'm quite proud of his eyebrows. *weird laugh* Oh and he suffered an ocular injury, which is why he is blind in one eye now. If you look closely you'll see he only has one pupil. Ghastly!
Clickie to make Biggie
So now I'm home alone waiting for the trick or treaters.
Just so y'all know how much living in the near south has damaged me for life I'm tempted every time to say tricker treaters. It wasn't until I was an older kid than I discovered it was Trick OR Treaters rather than Tricker Treaters. I still hear it that way in my head. o.0 In fact I still type it out that way half the time and have to go back to fix it. *sigh*
I killed one of the smaller sugar pumpkins today. *evil laugh* It's cooling after being roasted in the oven. I think I'll make the Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting tomorrow afternoon. I did a lot today and I don't think I want to be baking and handing out treats at the same time. More likley to burn something. *L*
I hope some little beggars show up soon. I have a bunch of those treat bags and have yet to have one Trick Or Treater.
If no one comes you are all getting them in the mail. I'm not kidding. o.0
I'm going to go finish up my sock this evening. It should be done by the end of the day. :D
Oh and I started that hat last night. LOVE it. I'm having to force myself to work on the sock even though I really want to knit on the pink hat. I'm using the Halloween stitch markers KnitWit Momma made me. So Fun!
I hope y'all are having a kickass Halloween Night! *Mwhahahahaha*
*eats everyones brains for good measure* ;^)
If we get them in the mail if no one shows up, I hope no one shows up. heheheh
I'm Halloween's version of the Grinch. I left home for the evening to miss all the "festivities."

That's great, the otter with the pumpkin. And then your pumpkin with the cataract. Not good. (I saw someone do the same thing, and they used a toothpick to replace the pupil. Just sayin'...)
I hope you're having a ghostly time this evening. Bwahahahahaha!

Your pumpkins are fantastic!! We had no kids tonight but we usually don't because of where we live.
Knit On.

So, how many did you get? Our turn out was rather weak and we were the first T.O.T ers for many people in our building. Then again, the pickings in this building were rather lame. Each kid wound up with a loosely filled gallon zip-lock of treats. (Yes, they keep their treats separate until my cleaning lady gets fed up and consolidates them about 2 months from now.)

Rats! I don't know what to wish for. Beggars at your door step would be good for you. No Beggars would be good for my mailbox. Hmmmm....

We had ZERO trick'er treaters.
Bummer. Halloween has definitely gone through some changes in my lifetime. Your pumpkins are cute.
