Our Jack-o’-lanterns for 2009

Okay, so I’ve been a little slow getting these posted. Better late than never, right?

Here’s what the little goobers saw as they approached the front door.

The first one was a little creepy, though he seemed to be really happy with his creepiness.


The second one was a bit hungry. I’m thinking maybe a Pacman theme for next year.


The last one was in desperate need of rhinoplasty.


Here they are with the candles going.

As much as I’d like to take credit for that rough carving in the first picture up top, I found it that way the next morning. Apparently the squirrels got hungry.

Next year I’ll try to get these up when people are still thinking about Halloween. (But don’t hold me to that.)

    This year we did Ash from 'Army of Darkness' with his chainsaw, and then the symbol from a favorite videogame called Gears of War II. It was very halloween friendly. I taught my Italian father in law how to make Jack-o-Lanterns like a MAN and now we're the coolest family on the block! I feel like such a trendsetter. Hope all is well at the Kime house and things are starting to look a little brighter. THREE CHEERS FOR 8-BALL!

    I see you are a kindred spirit when it comes to Halloween. It's my favorite, and the Carving of the Pumpkin is better than the Lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas tree. For me, anyway:)

    I need to hire your squirrels for next year. Very artistically done!
