This was BigBuddy's pumpkin - spelling out the word "BAT" while creating a jack-0-lantern. I thought it was very creative and it held up the best of all the pumpkins that were carved last Saturday.
Why did we pick Saturday? Because we were all home, we had time, and the pumpkins had been sitting around for almost a month, begging to be carved. Unfortunately, Minnie started to develop "cancer," and was rotting, and one of the spider's legs was withering and he was starting to mold inside.
Indoors, things were not decarying, and we felt festive with all the decorations.
Because our street it so crazy busy on this night, we kept it simple. Our ward was having a trunk or treat, but opted just to stay in our neighborhood. We left candy on the porch with a sign for people to help themselves. We had dinner, then went up to the Pirates Cove to check out what they did this year.
It was much smaller, and we the children are getting too old to want to do much in the way of dressing up. LittleBuddy wore his dad's hat, "Hair today, gone tomorrow." He wore a Camaro shirt and felt like someone from the 60's.
Mygirl wore a bat wing headband, dressed in orange and black and called herself the Spirit of Halloween.
These were new this year- cut outs for pictures.
We thought they were cute.
Next to the lone pirate ship (not two this year) was a house with a pirate to talk to and a graveyard to visit.
Another driveway had a skeleton chained to the wall and a couple of ladies giving treats.
This is the 2nd pirate ship, below. It was all washed up and declared to be "the remains of the flying Dutchman." Kind of a let down.
I accidentally bumped the wrong setting on my camera, but at least you get an idea of how tall the remaining pirate ship stands.
