We get in the Halloween spirit in this household, especially when it comes to jack-o-lanterns. Here is a family history of Halloween, as told through pumpkins.
Our greeter.
This year’s jack-o-lanterns, so far:
Go Royals!
Pumpkins from years past:
From several years ago. Probably the first jack-o-lantern my son designed.
Unicorns ‘R Us
The last political one I’ll ever carve. Someone smashed all of our jack-o-lanterns that year.
I live in Missouri with one husband, a variety of pets and two food critics. I love writing, reading and making lists. I've written poetry since I was seven. A few years ago I branched out into short fiction and memoir pieces. I'm currently working on a novel. My day job takes place at a public library. In the present, I'm fortunate enough to spend part of my working day writing blog posts and occasional newspaper articles for my employer. It's a happy life, getting paid to do what I love.

I was hoping you would do a Batman pumpkin!
Glad to be of service.
