Jack-O-Lantern

The Man-Cub carved his Jack-O-Lantern - I love everything about this boy - from his grass stained knees to his funny Jack-O-Lantern ideas...

...to his look of extreme concentration as he wields a very sharp knife...

...pumpkins are so tough...

...and his joy at his success...

...with a perfect replica of what he had in mind...

We had carved the pumpkin upside down this year (the Man-Cub's idea - not exactly sure why) - His idea also to use one of the small pumpkin shaped squash from our fall arrangement to be 'eaten' by the big pumpkin - and the little 'help me' sign stuck on a toothpick...

Of course you can't read the sign in the dark...

  3. Very original pattern, and upside down does give it a different shape. Such a smart boy. E

  4. Great idea! Looks really menacing and spooky, even lit up without the sign!
