Get Your Carving Tools Out! We’re Carving Pumpkins!

It's never too early to carve pumpkins! Someone scolded me for wanting to carve pumpkins right now because "they'll rot by Halloween". Pish Posh! You can totally start carving now and just keep carving for two months straight! That's what fall is all about!

Here are the kinds of carved pumpkins you often find:

1) Traditional Jack-O-Lantern. I like to call this the  "kid's starter pumpkin". Very fun to do and doesn't take long. Also recommended for adults imbibing in spiked cider (which is usually me). You can put you're own twist on the jack-o-lantern too! Different eyes, nose, mouth! Whatever!

2) Actually scary pumpkin.

So these are the kinds of pumpkins where you walk by and you actually don't want to look at them because they frighten you. Kids cry when they see them, old ladies shake their canes at it, and pretty much the only person who likes it are the kinds of people who like to be scared. Go away scary pumpkin! You are pretty cool looking though- i'll give you that.

3) The artist show off pumpkin

Okay we get it- you're an actual artist. And you can carve a great pumpkin. Thanks for making the rest of us look bad! But hey- you are usually pretty cool looking and I do appreciate some good art- in any form!

4) The weird political Pumpkin

Election season is around the time of pumpkin season usually, so of course we have to have those people who make a statement with their seasonal gourds. Look, I think it's cute and everything that you're promoting someone in a creative way, but it's just weird, and a waste of pumpkins if you use one for every letter of the guy's name! Stick to those weird signs you put at the end of your driveway.
