It's spooky season and you know what that means: time to carve up some pumpkins. For the past few weeks up here in beautiful western North Carolina, the leaves have been changing colors and it's been freezing, but over the weekend we had some very warm days which meant that yesterday we put on short sleeved t-shirts and went outside to carve our pumpkins in the welcome sunshine and crunchy leaves. Hallelujah! (Today, unfortunately, it is freezing again.)

This year we decided on bats. Creepy, sinister, Halloween bats. Cody went for a classic bat flying out of a cave kind of look. I went for a scary bat perching on a skull. I think they both turned out great, but I really love how Cody's looks lit up.
(When you look at my pumpkin, what do you see first: the bat or the skull?)
