We didn't have much luck growing pumpkins this year, though we did manage to get a nice one out of the garden. The rest we picked up at the market for the kids to carve. The carvings turned out great, and the kids always enjoy the pumpkin seeds. Gabe went for the anaconda look, Monica the vampire queen, and Nick the gigantic and terrifying bone man.

Plenty of nice close ups, including one of the always frightening Doug.

As a great contrast to the scary scenes for this Halloween night, a great photo of Monica and a friend's new puppy. It was tough to get Monica to let go.
