Abby and I had a pumpkin carving contest. It wasn’t about whose was best. It was about who was fastest.
Abby’s current favorite book is Alice In Wonderland, so she wanted to dress as Alice for Halloween. Gina got on the eBay and ordered up costumes for all of us. I tried to get a good photo in the new ghetto studio but the neighborhood Halloween party was calling and I had to settle for this. I didn’t even have all the pieces of my costume on.
Gramps had a big time with his Frankenstein mask.

Abby decided she wanted a Halloween pumpkin, so rather than just picking one up at Kroger, we decided to go in for pumpkin getting experience. We headed out to Garner Homestead Family Farm in deepest Garland County. The Web site promised a petting zoo, a corn maze, hayrides and a pumpkin field. This place has pretty good PR, but the actual experience is a bit of a letdown.
What with it being Halloween and all, we embarked on some punkin’ carvin’. Abby helped scoop out the innards.
