Yeah, I"m two full months late, but here is our jack-o-lantern from this year. It's become a time of expectation for our family when I create our family jack-o-lantern because they always embody something special to our family. I've done ESPN, Orlando Magic, our favorite bands Sister Hazel and Big 10-4, Mickey Mouse, a Cross-Country running shoe, UNICEF, and plenty of others I can't think of right now. This year the inspiration to do an Angry Bird came from our two boys who, like most other kids, are obsessed with the addicting game. I found some free Angry Bird coloring sheets online, chose the traditional red bird, and carved away. This year I didn't have any actual openings in the pumpkin, it was all from carving off the skin and shading with Sharpie. The eyes were made from sewing pins because I accidentally shaved off his pupil, oops!
What's extra cool (at least for my family) is that I carve the pumpkin Halloween afternoon, we let it sit outside during trick-or-treating, and the next day it gets peeled, chopped, boiled, and divided for our Thanksgiving pumpkin pies. You know, I gotta keep it green! :)
