This evening we spent some time carving some pumpkins for Halloween. Alicia bought 8 and brought to the house over the weekend, and we just now found the time this afternoon to carve them. This is the first time I’ve carved a pumpkin in years, and coincidentally is the best one that I’ve ever done. It’s also the first one that I’ve ever printed out a design to follow rather than the traditional triangle eyes and partially toothless mouth. Every one’s looked great, but we only had 3 candles tonight, so wasn’t able to get a picture of all of them carved. My mom and dad even carved them one as well.
From left to right – Chase’s, Alicia’s and mine.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
