Pumpkins, candles, candy, costumes! We had a quiet Halloween because NO trick-or-treaters knocked on our door! I was bummed because this is the first Halloween that we've actually lived in a place that is accessible to trick or treaters! Not to mention now we have 3 1/2 pounds of bubble gum, caramels, and Jolly Ranchers. [Assorted bulk candy was 98 cents a pound at Winco, so it's not like we spent a fortune, but I don't want to eat it!] We watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" and Disney's 1958 cartoon of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" on YouTube to get in the Halloweeny spirit. Of course, there were pumpkins too...
I got a "mini-kin" for Jay and actually managed to carve it! It's supposed to have 2 bottom teeth like Jay, but it's hard to see 'em. That tiny carving saw really helped--I've never used one before.
Two pumpkin heads--Jay's Aunt Steph gave him that cute hat!
Our pumpkins all aglow (mine is the happy one, Jeff's is the grrr one). To get a tea light into the tiny pumpkin, I had to carve out a hole in the bottom and set the pumpkin on top of the candle. That little candle TOASTED the whole pumpkin, and almost burned through the top! (we didn't light it after the first night...)

Our big pumpkins were heavier than Jay!!
Is he contemplating the candy or is he completely covered in that hat?
