Pardon My Crossbar: "Stanislas"
this year's jack o'lantern is so big that there was simply no way to get a picture of him in which he did NOT have the window crossbar right in his face!
for the third year running, ben has proven his pumpkin carving skill. he lets me draw the face...
which i copped from my sister's halloween card this year.
more or less.
i like hers better. i wonder what her pumpkin looks like this year. last year she and tom named theirs "bruce". but this is a woman who used to have a lizard named "murray"...
notice in the second picture, how ben takes the piece out of the back of the pumpkin to get the candles in/vent air, rather than mess up the top. this guy has a particularly lovely and large stem. oh, my.
