The Great Pumpkin...

It's a freak!
It was a week of pumpkin. Brewing a batch of pumpkin beer with Matt (our experiment is fermenting!), pumpkin pie a la Dr. Wife (PhD in Bake-ology), drinking pumpkin beer (Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale), eating pumpkin seeds (the batch I roasted today has garlic salt), and of course, Jack-O-Lanterns.

Rather than detail the whole weekend in words, I will throw a few pictures with comments in here. I'm not that lazy. I actually resized the pics to fit in the blog easily...


Later, she climbs in a giant pumpkin
First, a trip to the pumpkin patch. Silliness ensued, including climbing over every pumpkin pile available.


Dr. Wife and Miss Neverpoop getting their swing on...

Where does she get it?
Then, a brief trip to the playground with Miss Neverpoop.

She's so proud!
The design team began work on the carving this afternoon.

Day
The results were some mighty fine pumpkins, de-gutted, de-seeded, artfully sliced, and and candled from within.

Night
The results lit nicely as the sun set...

Cannibal!
And I will admit to being painfully proud of my creation.
