Trick or treat? Kids will ask
tomorrow, all dressed up in costumes
which are scary, most are cute
but, will it be – a trick?
8 years ago I carved my very first pumpkin for Halloween. Hmm, come to think of it, it may have been my second. But, guess who taught me? And which one is mine?
Happy Halloween 2014!
I carved these two myself as David had to stay late at work. PROMISE: I’ll post a better picture tonight, this one is a quickie..
So, here’s the update. Not sure if it is really better, but these two definitely had a ball last night. Just look at them grinning and being totally drenched, but still glowing. Hah – what a night!
Do you celebrate Halloween where you are?

And now for the Friday Four Fill ins ~ here is from Hilary’s blog:
- During a storm (rain, thunder or snow), I love to snuggle on the couch with… (fill in the blanks)
- Enjoying the ocean is in my blood, so to speak.
- Listening to relaxing music is something I enjoy a lot after a stressing working day.
- Answering questions spontaneously and truthfully can be challenging.

Do I celebrate? Oh yes!!!! I do not carve the pumpkins anymore myself though. I have passed that on to the kiddies. Halloween has always been my day since I can remember. But, you mentioned in another post that you dressed up for Fasching and that is a holiday I loved when I lived in Germany. We did not have much to do on Halloween except on the base but Fasching sure made up for it!! 🙂
Carving pumpkins with kiddies would be great fun. Fasching did not really resonate with me, it seemed very silly and in the north of Germany it is not celebrated.
So. Very. Spooky.
I have to carve mine today. And make food for a Harvest Party. Annual event at Friend Rose’s place. What are you doing this evening?
Harvest Party sounds like tons of fun. I hope you had a good time with your friend(s). We actually didn’t do anything for Halloween, in fact, we got home late from work and missed of the trick or treaters – sad…
I don’t carve the pumpkins that is DH’s job and he helped the grandchildren with theirs.
Everybody has their jobs, right? I am sure yours is just around the corner, too 🙂
I carved one for work this week but we haven’t carved one for home in a long time!
Love your #2!
You know, David thought that it might be a good team building event to do pumpkin carving at work. But, of course, this thought occurred to him too late and he was too busy.
I don’t do much for Halloween anymore, the boys are older, so no more carving pumpkins or getting them all dressed up to go trick or treating.
Well, as they say ‘there is a time for everything’, right? We don’t really do too much either, but I do love the pumpkins.
Too busy for me today to do the 4 Fill In – I am kinda taking a break from memes the rest of this week to get caught up. Next week I will be on a sugar high so I should be able to do All the Memes!! heehee
Love your pumpkin kung-fu — very good!! 🙂
Yep, too busy… hah – I’m replying not to this week’s Friday’s comments, but the previous week’s – how did that happen?! What a week… I hope you survived your sugar high (got to check later :))
Haven’t carved a pumpkin in years! These are cool!
You should try it again, Adrienne. I always enjoy the carving one of the nights before Halloween.
Beautiful! I’ve lost my pumpkin carving motivation this year!
Thank you, Brandi. I hope you’ll find it again for next year.
I love your pumpkin carvings.
The grandkids and I carve pumpkins together on occasion. We’re pretty flexible around here. We do celebrate Halloween. We try to do a Harvest Fest most years to celebrate the end of harvest (we own a fruit orchard) and put on a Halloween party, all in one. We eat, have a carnival for the small ones, do a haunted forest, hayride, and stories. One year we had a scarecrow making contest, which was a ton of fun. Harvest Fest is a fun family tradition.
Oh wow! Now that Harvest Fest sounds like tons of fun! I hope you had a wonderful time this year celebrating, Carol.
we share the same blood 🙂
We sure do 🙂
Great pumpkins!
Thank you, Tamar, it was a lot of fun
Your pumpkins look good. Such an artist!
How kind of you to say that, Joyce 🙂 I don’t really think they are very artful, because – have you seen what some people create, carve into their pumpkins – amazing…
Couldn’t guess which one was yours in the first photo but they’re both great!
I’m not a good pumpkin carver.
We had a blast celebrating up here. I’m still recovering..
Oh, I saw. Your family really were a huge Halloween success this year. All over facebook. You all looked so cool!
1st photo – the one on the right, I tried some shading 🙂
What great pumpkin carving. GORGEOUS work. I like the ghost one the best.
Spontaneous answers are a bit tricky, but I somehow come up with good things to fill in the blanks. 🙂
ENJOY your reading week.

Thank you, Elizabeth, and the ghost one was actually mine 🙂 Yes, spontaneous can be tricky, but most of the time it works for me in this meme (although I skipped this week’s – so far…)
