Happy Christmaween!

Yeah. It's that time of year again. Pumpkins are barely carved and pine trees are decorated in the bigger stores. It sucks.

Last week Logan and Carrie wanted to carve their pumpkins. I told them it's best to wait until a day or two before Halloween. But they insisted.

So we looked on line for stencils and found some we liked. Carrie and Logan picked something fairly simple. I went more complicated. It took me 4 hours to carve it using a precision screw driver...

Logan's, mine, Carrie's

Now all three of them are sitting outside, wilting. They seem to be sprouting white cob webby mold too. I guess that means no pumpkin pie....

I suppose I could buy a new pumpkin and carve something else out but I don't know if I can muster the energy for that. Why? I'm getting over Viral Bronchitis. Carrie's just starting her run with it and I'm hoping I won't get it again.

Christmas is now only 57 days away. I guess I need to get moving on the shopping. I hate buying Christmas, beating people out of the way so I can try and do some shopping.
