From Donna: Pumpkin Carving

(Video link!)

Happy Halloween!! Pumpkin carving has always been one of my favorite holiday traditions, even better than carving the turkey at Thanksgiving. This year Glen and I were fortunate enough to share the festivity with Melanie and Annie. As you can see, it was a little messy and a lot of fun. There was only one casualty - my poor, poor pumpkin... but I perservered and did a little Martha Stewart-like innovation.

The grim reaper pumpkin head is Glenny's, he's proud of the fact that it has more than one tooth - definitely not a Carter County pumpkin. Melanie created the cat in honor of the fabulous Phoebe, her and Jeremy's only child (kitten). And Ms. Annie honored us with a Buffett tribute in fine Key West tradition. You can tell she misses the beach. As for my pumpkin, after the tragic decapitation of my hanging bat, I hung a smaller version from inside using a carving tool, wire, scotch tape, and some spit in true MacGyver fashion.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and don't forget the video!!
