Happy Halloween!

The other day, a few days before Halloween, Himbeere and his girlfriend wanted to carve some pumpkins.  So they bought a couple and brought them to the house to carve up.  We thought that was pretty nice.  They were good enough to lay out some newspapers, to contain the mess, and then set about the job.

Himbeere wanted to "design" his before cutting.  His friend just got right down to business and began cleaning out her pumpkin and carving.

As a result, she got a ways ahead of him.  But he kept at it and kept working.

Its a fine art, carving pumpkins.  They both worked away at it.

Pretty soon some nice looking jack-o-lanterns began taking shape.

When they were all done they put candles in them.  They looked pretty nice.  Then they set them out on the front porch.  Very festive.  And there they waited until the little trick-or-treaters came along a few days later.  It was a nice evening.
