Great Pumpkin

Just because it's the Halloween Capital of the World (!) doesn't mean we don't wait until the last minute to carve our pumpkins. Silas actually carved a good portion of his. "The flame face is the scariest!"
Team Orrin and Emmet carved the friendly monster in the back.
In typical fashion, Emmet was nearly inverted into the pumpkin while getting seeds and strings out. Meanwhile, I asked Silas to help get the pumpkin guts out; "Ok, Mom. but not with my hands!"
The 50 pound behemoth Silas picked out in the pumpkin patch remains uncarved. We don't know how many we might have to host for birthday and Thanksgiving celebrations. We might need a lot of pie.

Both pumpkins look great! Although I would like to see the picture of Emmet in the pumpkin.
