My husband carved a Pittsburgh Penguins pumpkin! Not only is he incredibly sweet and creative, he’s also really talented.
He didn’t use a template — he studied the Pens logo and just started carving. How impressive is that?
Pretty awesome, right?
I was surprised to discover that there are carving templates. We bought a pumpkin carving kit and, to my amazement, it was full of intricate stencils.
That discovery burst a childhood bubble. I remember walking through neighborhoods trick-or-treating and seeing the exact same templates carved into pumpkins. I always thought those people were unbelievably talented and wished I had their artistic skill.
Cheaters.
I gave carving a try myself.
It’s no secret that I have zero patience.
Working with the cheap carving tool made me want to gouge my eyeballs out chunk by chunk. From now on I’m sticking to triangle eyes and toothless grins.
I made BBQ and buffalo chicken pizzas on Joseph’s Lavash wraps.
I forgot to photograph them fully as I was finishing, so use your imagination for how good they looked.
Although our neighborhood is large, we only had about a dozen trick-or-treaters, which left me with quite a few leftovers.
My hips won’t lie.
I’m excited that it’s November. Not only is it my birthday month, but I feel like I can officially start listening to Christmas music without feeling silly.
I must go now — my 36-year-old husband just announced he’s watching the animated Horton Hears a Who. We don’t have children.
Well, he doesn’t have children. It’s moments like these when I could almost say I have one.
