These are only, oh, a month late, but that happens when you're busy to no end and you have another holiday less than a month after that. Papers and finals and exams and quizzes are kind of important, too.
Missing from this post is the ADORABLE little farm from where we got our pumpkins. I was eager to get these up, though, because I'm so in love with how these turned out. I've been processing my images differently and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Anyway, at said farm, we got around 8 pumpkins, some mini pumpkins, and indian corn for an insane price. We paid way less than what they were worth. Part of that is the bonus of buying pumpkins late in the season, but part of that is shopping locally! Always support your local businesses.
The first Halloween we spent together as a married couple, we established that we we're going to take part in all the really timeless traditions. AKA, carving pumpkins. We did that (recall James's USC and Red Bull pumpkins from a couple years ago) and even today, I still remember sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by pumpkins, James sitting against the side with the sink and me against the refrigerator. I'd pull out all the pumpkin guts (my FAVORITE part) and hand them over to James to carve. I would've carved that year, but ask James about how good I am at decision making.
This year didn't deviate too far from that, except we sat in our dining room next to each other and I actually carved some, too. Since our early days, my ability to make decisions has greatly improved and we ended up with five carved pumpkins instead of two! Two creative ones each, and one traditional pumpkin. Three of them aren't showing, simply because processing the images of the jack-o-lanterns takes a great amount of work and a lot of playing with. They'll show up eventually, but I need a break from editing images that heavily.
Until then, enjoy a sneak peek of what our Hallow's Eve was like!
