this is halloween!!!

picture post!!!

i think these photos describe themselves, but in case you're lost: jarrod was carving out the lid of his pumpkin.

pumpkin pulp. who knew something so gross looking could turn into something so delicious?

so i wanted to stick with my costume as a "theme" for halloween. as you can see, i attempted to make a mockingjay cut out...the bottom picture is what happened with that stencil....it was very upsetting. i pretty much gave up after that and decided to go separate the seeds from the pulp of the pumpkin so i could start baking.

unlike me, jarrod stuck with his pumpkin (though he didn't screw up like i did. haha). he made a zombie pumpkin eating another pumpkin. it's pretty awesome, i admit. i'm so jealous of his abilities. why must he be good at everything?! haha. but seriously, his jack o' lantern turned out amazing and i love it and i know he loves it too. i'm pretty sure he had a great time making it, so that's good.

jarrod made me an easier, less likely to fall apart version of the mockinjay.

it worked!

and there is my glorious mockingjay pumpkin. i think it turned out pretty awesome. as good as hello kitty from last year? i'm not so sure, but it's still pretty great.
currently there is pumpkin bread cooling off. tomorrow i'll attempt to make some pumpkin cupcakes and.... something else. maybe more bread, maybe....idk, something.
so that was our "halloween decorating" day. it was fun. :)
i'm not terribly sure what will be happening this weekend, but i'm sure it will be exciting. haha.
that's it for now.
