Saturday night seemed like the perfect time to get into the Halloween Spirit!
Earlier in the day, Joe and I took a trip to Fry’s and picked out 2 perfect pumpkins for carving.
After a wonderful family dinner at Firebirds (some of the best food we have eaten in a long time), we headed home to get our “carve” on!
Joe had spent a few hours in the afternoon creating and drawing his own carving template. He had decided that in honor of the St. Louis Cardinals winning the World Series he would dedicate his masterpiece to them. I was raised a Cardinals baseball fan my entire life and when Joe became my husband, he too began to cheer on the Red Birds!
One of the best moments that occurred on the field after the Cardinals World Series Victory was the look on closing pitcher Jason Motte’s face. Joe’s inspiration looked a little something like this….
I decided my pumpkin would take after our dog Cody. Being that I am not nearly as artsy as Joe, my carving template was found on the internet.
As we got to work, Joe realized his much larger pumpkin was going to take some “elbow grease” to scrape clean. My nice tall skinny pumpkin was all clean in no time!
We spent much of the evening enjoying each others company and creating our works of art!
In the end… both of our pumpkins turned out pretty good! I was impressed with Joe. I could not believe he had designed his pumpkin from scratch and it looked amazing.
I love quiet evenings at home with my husband. I cannot wait for all the upcoming adventures the holidays have to offer.
