It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Todd, his kids, and I spent the afternoon carving Jack-O-Lanterns to get into the Halloween spirit. We picked up the pumpkins in Central Park yesterday at an autumn festival that included not only a pumpkin patch with 6,000 pumpkins but also a haunted house, a scarecrow decorating contest, a twenty foot pumpkin tower, and live music.

Today, after scoping out a street festival in our 'hood, we got started on the pumpkins.




Todd helped Sofia work on her pumpkin while Dylan tackled his alone


Finished with Sofia's, Todd started on his own creation


All the Jacks lit up. From left to right: Todd's, Sofia's, Dylan's, and mine. I was going for a Joker kind of face, but he ended up just looking like a really happy pumpkin.
