Yes We Carve! (i.e. Shabbat-O-Ween 2008)

As Halloween approaches this year (conveniently on Shabbat, so we’ll be home having dinner when all the kids come a knockin’ on the door), I’ve been sick for a few days. On Sunday however, for a couple of hours at least (downturn again today, unfortunately), I started feeling a little better, so we took a quick jaunt out to the Craven Farm in Everett to do some pumpkin picking and drink some cider (however, no cider donuts to be found – damn those things were good in Michigan!)

Pictures (as always, click on the pictures for larger versions)

Is that a pumpkin in your stomach, or what you’ll look like come early next year?

Thankfully, the ultrasound shows Little Hobey to be a person, not a pumpkin!

Tonight, we decided to get a head start on carving – as it’s election season, we’re showing our support via the patterns up at http://yeswecarve.com/

(and yes, for Friday night, we’ll use Shabbat candles and make the pumpkins our candlesticks…)
