Spooktacular!!

Happy Halloween!! Tonight I decided that I would carve the pumpkin I went and picked out at a local pumpkin patch! I wasn't sure if I would carve one this year just because I'm by myself and it's always more fun with other people around. I decided to go ahead and carve it, but I wanted it to reflect the year 2012 when we looked back at pictures in the future. The first thought I had in mind was to carve the "Support Our Troops" ribbon, but then realized it's also the breast cancer awareness ribbon. My mom got the great idea of an American Flag waving, so I quickly ran with that idea and tried to see how it would work best on the pumpkin. This is actually the first year that I haven't done a face, but because Bill is deployed right now, this meant more to me since he couldn't be here to enjoy Halloween with me.

Here are a few pictures of the finished product... as you can tell, Jack was thrilled I decided to take pictures with him and the pumpkin. He has always been this way with pumpkins and I don't really know why, he has no problem before they are carved! Hope you have a spooktacular Halloween!
