Well now that I had a tons of gourds I had to put them to use. So I decorated our front bay window with pumpkins, gourds and Indian Corn. Here are some pictures of the decorations. Eric and I went down to the farm near our house that had a huge pumpkin patch and bought some monstrous pumpkins. I carved 6 of them.
My favorites were Gollum and his hand reaching for the ring.
Halloween has now come and gone. I had a softball game that night so I didn't get to hand out candy. But Eric had a lot of fun. Last year we only had about 6 groups of trick or treaters and about 3 huge Costco size bags of candy. So we were still eating candy after Easter. This year I only bought 2 small bags of candy. We ran out of that by 7:30. Eric then searched through the garage and found some Dr. Peppers (which the kids seemed to love) and some Gatorade. That also ran out. So Eric ran to the store and bought some candy and gave away most of that too. I guess we will have to be better prepared next year.
No that my pumpkins have begun to mold and we have thrown them into the compost I had to find something else to do with the gourds. So I decorated the table.
