Every year my dad delights in spooking the neighborhood children on the 31st of October. It’s become kind of a family tradition since I started inviting Charles to my parents’ home for Halloween six years ago and the preparations have come earlier every year. (When this madness started in my high school years my dad would wait until the afternoon of the 31st to even pull a costume together!) Last year, to give you an idea, the boys went out and bought fog machines for the front porch and Charles donned a full-body gorilla costume! Normally this tradition is all about the guys - but this year I’ve told mom I want her and I to carve a pumpkin like we used to do when I was little. So for inspiration I hit the web and came across this site and thought I would share:
Be sure to click through the contest winner galleries - some cool stuff! BUT BEWARE - there are some… err… not kid-friendly or maybe even workplace-friendly pumpkin designs in the galleries as well…
I’ll post some shots from our Halloween 2006 in a few short weeks!
