Trick or treating this year... carved pumpkins yesterday, and did my first try at an "artistic" one, where you don't cut holes in it, but cut away layers of pumpkin shell to leave a thin skin behind.
It was pathetic. I don't have good tools for it, and I'm not likely to find any. I didn't have a good stencil, and my wife suggested I do a pirate... like I can draw one of those [img]smile.gif[/img] A face with an eyepatch... yeah, that's it
Kids had fun, although trick or treaters were light. Still have two huge bags left over (more than half our stash), and I'm sick and tired of chocolate (something I never thought I'd say).
Had some neighborhood kids over after trick-or-treating to celebrate Corbin's birthday with cake and ice cream, and that went well. The big six-year-old is now sound asleep in bed, waiting for next year.
The dog did not do well, though... too much excitement for a puppy. Okay, for a big puppy... he's almost eight months old, and he's almost grown into his feet. And just what he needed... lots of kids eating (and dropping!) chocolate cake. We'll see if he has the runs tomorrow... but I'm leaving for Atlanta, so I won't have to deal with it!
