I've lost my camera. so until i find it again, you will be getting clip art. Today, it's a cat with a jack-o-lantern.

this reminds me of last night...

M came in with one of my fake foam pumpkins that I used to decorate the yard for the Fall.

M: "Are you going to use this pumpkin for anything?"

Well, I was using it for decorating the yard, but hey he's going somewhere with this. Are we just carving plastic pumpkins this year. Have we run out of time? I really like toasted pumpkin seeds. Especially with this cooler weather. Oh, wait, he's looking for an answer. Back to reality.

Me: "You want it for something?"
M: "Yes."
Me: "Did you want to carve the foam pumpkins this year, instead of real pumpkins?"
M: "No."
Me: "o.k. You can use it. What are you going to do?"
M: "Carve it."
Me: "o.k."
M: "Do you think light will shine through this well?"
Me: "Yes. They usually do."
M: "o.k."

30 minutes later, M is outside on a ladder with his newly carved pumpkin. He shoved it over the porch light outside and it looks good and scary.
