Pumpkin Schmumpkin




One of the great Halloween traditions is
jack-o-latern makin. And w/ all of the new
carvin tools
(scrapers that actually fit inside,
different sized mini saws, traceable pics) ending
up w/ a sharp lookin pumpkin is now a real
possibility. So, goodbye kitchen knives and big
spoons...hello carpel tunnel syndrome!



The youngest's
"witch w/ pumpkin"

pumpkin.







Reck's "The Pack"








Super Dog!








Pirates and ninjas
protected the treats.






Oldest carved
a traditional one.


The boy's
skull and
crossbones.







The "cat" which
became "the t
ank".







Darth Vader...
Texas edition.

They look great! Carpal tunnel...no kidding. That wolf one looks awwwwfully familiar...check out my blog in about 20 min!

Linda said...

That witch one is cool...don't think I saw that one. I'd like to get a better look at your wolves...to compare our carving skills. ;)

RecknHavic said...

Your skills are far better. Re; the top limb, that was hard. mine ended up lookin sorta like a crescent moon..till I eventually tore it off :)

Carpal has 2 a's, eh?

Linda said...

Well they look pretty much the same to me. :)

I've no idea how to spell carpal. Just what came out when I was typin...I don't have spell check!

Linda said...

Lol! Did your pumpkins get smashed before or after the locals saw you in this get-up? Talk about b*llzi. :) Who knew Darth had nice legs? Woulda thought with the burning lava and all...

Linda said...

That's a pretty nice recovery on the cat, btw. And the youngest looks awesome.

RecknHavic said...

W/ the voice changer thing hooked up, nobody messes w/ me.

Arggg.. she was a nice pielet!

Linda said...

Oh, you had a VOICE CHANGER! See I was thinkin you might have looked kinda silly in your Vadar costume sans pants. But now that I understand that you were also donning a Toys R Us voice changer, I clearly understand how menacing you must have been.

RecknHavic said...

Hey, I can be menacin...ish.

Linda said...

Is that anything like "ham...ish"?

RecknHavic said...

:) yes.

Linda said...

Wow, so I've just spend a load of time on Facebook trying to sort it out. It's something. I got on a month or so ago, and then I had friends postin pics of me that...let's just say I didn't want the WORLD to see. So I wigged out and cancelled it. Now I understand that the only people that'll see those are those that you accept as "friends". I guess that's cool, but my aunt apparently will never be my friend. I dunno...it's all a bit incestuous for my taste, but I'll go w/ it for now.

What's e1 doing tnite?

RecknHavic said...

Just watched Tech upset Texas.

Now were watchin Independence Day (for the umpteenth time).

I'll take a looksy at FB, but I don't know. Hard to find time for more comput stuff.

Linda said...

Once you get on w/ your profile, it's only as much time as you wanna spend. You may really like it...you'd be surprised at the people you'll find.

Linda said...

Independence Day was o.k. the first time. I was a little disheartened when Will Smith up and punched the alien. (Maybe I'm sensitive to that sort of thing. :)
) No, really. I thought that was really dumb. And upon further review, it got dumber and dumber.

That being said...enjoy the show!

Linda said...

I don't know why I find it necessary, (when I'm reeaaly bored) to tune into the show you guys are watching when I KNOW I don't like it. Golly, is that movie cheesy. AH! Just figured out why you watch it...it's the cheese factor.

RecknHavic said...

Ha, yes it's always the cheese.
I halfway watch what's on and that's what they had on. Not a bad movie tho. Weird seein Data as a character other than Data. I figured, what w/ your alien crush, this'd be right up your alley.

Linda said...

Yeah, seeing Brent Spiner (I think that's it) out of Data character is weird. I'll bet he had trouble getting roles after that show for that reason.

If you're halfway watching, what's your other half doing?

RecknHavic said...

Multi-taskin.

Linda said...

Cool clouds in your weather pic today. It looks kinda like a spaceship. Well, I'm sorry but it does!

RecknHavic said...

It is..space shipish. Tho, to me it looks more like the Hindenburg.

Linda said...

I watched a thing on the Hindenberg the other day on "When Weather.." does something. Whatever that show is on TWC. Pretty interesting.

RecknHavic said...

That's funny, I saw the same show. "When Weather Changed History" I think.
It was actually quite interestin. I'm so stupid, I didn't realize anyone survived. The footage of it floatin over NY was cool.

Nestor said...

You don't understan the powr of the dark side...hehhehheh. It's like I was tellin Condi, it's like nucular powr, but like, scarier.

Nestor said...

Reck you should get on facebook. It's kind of cool going to your high school class and seeing what those people look like now. Plus you can choose who you let in. It's not something I spend a huge amount of time in, but I put in quick little comments here and there. If you don't like it, you can close it out.

Linda said...

Changed History...that's it. You think you're dumb, D and I were pausing it trying to figure out where the people were inside that thing. D thought they were underneath the inflated part and I'm tellin him there were too many people, etc. Funny. I had to google to find out how many were on board and how many died. I thought it was much more of both. What w/ the whole "oh the humanity!" thing.

RecknHavic said...

I'll look into the FB thing outta curiosity

Nice Bush btw.

RecknHavic said...

How big a dorks are we all anyhow, watchin Weather Channel pieces on the Hindenburg?

Linda said...

Nah, TWC specials are cool. Dorky is watchin the Survivorman make grasshopper kabobs. Not that I saw that one. I'm just sure that's the kind of thing he does.

RecknHavic said...

Actually, I saw Bear Griles make scorpion kabobs once. Does that count?

RecknHavic said...

Today I vote for Sarah Palin...oh yeah..and McCain too...

Linda said...

Yes, it counts. NOW we're dorks.

Nestor said...

I'm lookn ford to a campn post. Eh, well I tried anyway.

RecknHavic said...

Yous gonna see one soon. Foist I's gotta go grabe me a cabe and take a drave to pawk.

Best I can do as well.

Linda said...

You guys talk funny.
