Last night Salem and I went to the pumpkin patch (or should I say the pumpkin parking lot) to choose our Jack-O-Lantern to be.When it came time to carve it up, I asked her what we should carve, a princess? a clown? a funny face? She replied in her know-it-all tone:
"A skeleton (duh)....with blood spraying out of its eyes!!!"
me: "Well, I can make a skull, but you'll just have to imagine the blood on your own, as we're not equipped to support those kinds of effects. And! That's kinda gross, don'tcha think?"
her: "Okay mommy, it's okay. I just want my pumpkin to be scary!"
Speaking of scary, Salem is going to be a skeleton for Halloween. She and I are going to make a pink glitter heart to pin to her little skeleton rib cage to obtain that splash of pink all little girls need within their attire. I told her that we were making the glitter heart tonight, she squealed and remarked with this statement:
"Well, we can make that glitter heart! and, and we can also make it dripping with blood! Like big drops of blood, coming out of the heart--all nasty! Aaaaaaaaand Scaaaaaaaary!"

I love your cool jack-o-lantern! I've never been able to carve a pumpkin worth a tinker's damn (wow, there's an old phrase for ya!), so I'm a little jealous of your creation. It's perfect, even though the blood-spraying eye holes would have been a classy touch!
A little mother/daughter quality time, huh??
GREAT pumpkin!
