The kids are currently cleaning the pumpkins - we have printed the stencils, and then I am going to attempt to carve Phineas / Ferb / Perry.

Wish me luck...

You did notice the word attempt - right? :rotfl2: :lmao:

Good Luck with your Attempt!

This is a picture of "The Pumpkin House" that was taken this morning. This guy does this every year and it is always a quite impressive display! In the evenings it is packed..the picture had to be taken about 5am today in order to get it with no wondering lookers in it :rotfl2:

The guy who does this is a local pharmacist and has people come from all over to hlep him each year. They start a week or so in advance. The dip the pumplkins in something that helps to preserve them until after Halloween. It is amazing to see in person!

Wow. :eek: :thumbsup2 You do Halloween pretty well! Lovely family! Great decorations! :thumbsup2

Thank you very much!

Wow! Looks like y'all had a great time and the graveyard/pumpkin patch looks great too! Makes me even more aggregated that someone messed with it.
Glad y'all got to enjoy it.

Thank you!

I'll just remake Mr. Sewell and Master Gracey's tombstones again. The other missing one was just a store-bought styrofoam one. And maybe I can still do something with the animated tomb-lifter guy. He may be fixable/salvageable. I did go out this afternoon and take most of it down.
