Sunday we decided we had better carve our Halloween pumpkins. This is the first time J and I have ever carved pumpkins together! He's always gone this time of year for one reason or another. (He's missing Halloween again this year, but we got in the pumpkin carving before he took off this time!) We went to Mike and Lynn's house and they shared their stencils and tools and we ha a grand time and made a huge mess. But, we did get pumpkin seeds out of it, 4 whole pumpkins worth! And then we watched Sunday night football and played hand and foot later while enjoying the toasted seeds. All in all a fun evening.

The finished product! Headless Horseman
And my cat under the moon. It's really in memory of Christopher who really did enjoy Halloween night :)
The 2012 Scherff family pumpkins
And just across the street: Mike's skull and cross bones and Lynn's cat and pumpkin.
Two big trays of roasted pumpkin seeds. Just butter and kosher salt and about 45-60 minutes at 300 degrees. The whole house smelled heavenly and they tasted great too.
And I just couldn't throw away my little cat, he looked so perfect. So he's lurking outside our house, at least until Halloween is over. :)
