Pumpkin Carving

I wanted to carve that giant pumpkin from Saturday night, but apparently giant pumpkins cost over $100.

Instead, I settled for this subway-friendly pumpkin from an organic market in Greenwich Village.

Erin takes a stab (haha) at making a mouth.
After finishing our Halloween music, we had a finished product!  The monster mash...it was a graveyard smash...

I can't decide if he looks cute or scary.
It was supposed to be a friendly pumpkin since it's so tiny, but if you stare at it long enough it looks sort of evil to me.

Also, a fun science experiment...the candle cooks the lid, drying it out.  This makes it shrink slightly, so the lid falls on top of the candle and starts to burn.  Burning pumpkin actually smells OK   Unfortunately, now the lid doesn't stay on top.  Lessons for next year.
