Ethan really liked the color-changing electric candle in his pumpkin, and I sorta have to agree. Green is my favorite, obvously.
And here is the whole line-up from the kids. I think the quidditch pumpkin really looks great - proud daddy moment for Cain's fancy design realization. The vampire bunny is just too cute. I wish you could set the color on those little changing candles, because the bunny is amazing in magenta/violet, but it flashes through too quick for me to catch it.
Audrey STILL hasn't finished hers yet, the crazy. She has a blondie yellow-orange pumpkin with a swirly stem, who is now pouting on the counter, on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown after having to watch all the other pumpkins get all the attention for two days in a row. Because pumpkins love to be beheaded, gutted, mutilated, and set afire for our enjoyment.
I am totally happy with my pumpkin this year. I showed you the bottom half in the previous post, but the fun part is that I got a second pumpkin, a white one, to make a brain sticking up out of the head. here's how it turned out:
I used power tools when carving for the first time this year. I don't have a dremel, which is apparently the tool of choice, but I found that a variety of drill/screwdriver bits gave me the effect I needed. I still had to skin it with a potato peeler, though, which was a bit time-consuming. It has to be skinned, though, to let some light through for the lit effect:
