tripperfunsterOkay, I FAIL at pumkin carving 101. Actually, I fail at patience 101. I was so excited to carve out my pumpkin, that I accidentally CUT OFF THE BOTTOM of it, instead of the top. I was like; "Oh, my pumpkin has no stem!" and then, of course, I turned it over, and realized that I was an imbecile. so I cut the top off too, AND PROMPTY THREW THE TOP AWAY WITH THE PUMPKIN GUTS!
*facepalm*
so, my pumpkin iz upside down. Then, I failed to print out a properly sized pattern for it, so I free-handed the sketch with a dry erase marker, and DREW IT WAAAY TO BIG, like I always do. And, of course, I failed to purchase any proper pumkin carving tools, so I began it with a MELON BALLER (not a good idea), then, finally, just a steak knife.
Despite my lewserness, it actually turned out okay. Oh, and I have only a teeeny candle, so I couldn't even light it properly. *failz*
I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Oh, and I went to sew my costume tonight (Princess Leia, in case you care) and I DON'T HAVE ANY SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES. My only saving grace, is that Halloween is still three days away, so I *might* actually manage to finish it in time.
I'm making a ghost costume for Harry and Quincey wants to be either a pirate or a skeleton. he'd like me to make both, and then he will decide which one he wants to wear. I told him sure! Twenty bucks an hour, and I'll make ten or eleven! :D
I will, of course, post pics when the time comes!

We're not giving out candy. We live in the country and have no neighbours. Lance takes the kids to his mom's in the city, and they hand out candy and go trick or treating there.
did you get many kids this year? And what did VK dress up as???
