This past week, we decided that we could do a quick and simple meal (not pictured – Lazy Lasagna, Bag Caesar Salad, Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake) in order to carve out some time to make Jack-o-Lanterns. This has been a yearly tradition, and this year was no exception. Turns out though, that the pumpkins available to us were a little bit hardier than in other years, with thicker shells. This made the cutting and scraping into an adventure, but after many hours, broken implements and cramped fingers, we made it work! With no further ado, I give you Pumpkins ’09:

Jen’s Vampiress

Kate’s Nomming Zombie

Kim’s MST3K Watching Frankenstein

Katie’s Spooky Forest

Bob’s Stormtrooper

Nice! Check out all the pictures here!
