My older daughter was working on a few different ideas and in a big oops, cut the whole front out of her pumpkin. What's left is a diorama inspired by the movie The Skeleton Key which we watched last night (great movie by the way). Oh my god. I just watched this trailer and got goosebumps galore. Anyway, this pumpkin is really freaking me and my daughter out.
My 5 year old's "funny vampire" pumpkin - which is what I call (when her back is turned) "the evil clown jack-o-lantern". I think this is the scariest of them all. It's also completely painted black on the inside (so you can't see its sharp vampire teeth).
And to get our weird and creepy pumpkins out of your head, I'll leave you with my own creation - a representation of how I feel much of the time.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!!!
Enjoyed all the pumpkins ... creativity is in the eye of the beholder :) HaPpY HaLlOWeEn :)
ReplyDeleteGreat artistic abilities going on here!
ReplyDeletealso, I think there's something really funny about durr. I guess that's the new phrase kids use for duh. Isn't it so funny in a onomatopoeic kind of way?
ReplyDeleteHello Wendy, Looks like ya'll have had a wonderful Halloween! Your pumpkins are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comments. You made my day! Yes, my oldest turned 18 this weekend and we celebrated with family and friends yesterday. It is quite the milestone! There is a picture of the whole family under the
"Cast of Characters" if you're interested. Thanks again - I'll go to sleep with a smile on my face tonight!
All pumpkins are grand
ReplyDeletein the spirit of the land
and all of yours were too
All designs are so original. Love the first one... having a eye mask on or something else he he... hope your halloween has been a fun one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pumpkins. I have never carved a jack-o-lantern (no kids.) I need to put that on my list. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like your whole family had lots of fun to create the halloween pumpkins. Your old daughter's pumpkins looks very creative, and a work well done!
ReplyDeleteI saw The Skeleton Key a little while back and got a good scare. What I really appreciated was that a good story kept you scared and not mindless violence.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really fun collection, and with my sensibilities I really do gravitate towards the evil clown. I hope you survived the day without feeling too much durr durr durr...
ReplyDeleteHope you had an enjoyable Halloween! I like the second picture. I think it is cute.
ReplyDeleteAww, hooray! Those are great! The only "scary" movie we watched was The Nightmare Before Christmas. LOL Pretty G-rated here at our house. Love the pics, hope your Halloween was sufficiently spooky and fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteMust be really fun to see all the children having fun with pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteYeah - its truly a Shockober happening in your place. (lol)
You family have done a great carving on pumpkin! Are they home grown?
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
What great looking pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteGreat pumpkins! And, as you say, that creepy on is, well, creepy. I don't know how you do it, Wendy. The "creativity" area of your brain must be huge.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Love the one with gourds for eyes. Did you manage to get any pie from any of these guys? We're drowning in candy here....help!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! My 5 year old wanted to carve her own pumpkin but I didn't let her. I had her separate the pumpkin seeds from the fiber (? not sure what you call it)that I pulled out from the pumpkin instead. That kept her busy for a good half an hour!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, your pumpkin heads, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI miss the days of my kids being excited over carving them! Now they just fuss over costumes and parties...teenagers!!
