And if you know THAT, then of course you remember that since I was a little wee Slyde, I have always carved a pumpkin for the occasion.
Now that Mini-Me is in my life, he now calls the shots on what we will carve each year.
About a week before Halloween, I will ask him what kind of pumpkin he wants to have that year. Based on what he picks, I usually sketch out about a dozen different styles, and I let him pick one, then I get to work.
This year, his royal majesty requested “A Bloody Handprint”.
So, off to work I went.
I was all set to cut some drips running down the hand so it looked bloody, but when I got to this part, Mini-Me put up his hands and said, “Stop daddy! I like it like this”.
Overall, it was one of the simpler ones I’ve done. I think it came out pretty cool. It’s definitely different.
So, what kinds of stuff did you guys carve this year?

I wanna carve a face on your face.
But, ya know...a handsome one.
(Even on vacation I still got it!)
arent you supposed to be on vacation? go away.
I have never carved anything, we're not that into Halloween over here, but if I did I'd carve a rabid rabbit, foaming blood...
...Did I actually suggest that?!
I'm gonna nickname that pumpkin "Talk to the hand Timmy"
You can use it if you want.
That is super-cool. We are carving ours tomorrow night....I am sure I will end up carving something strange for my son!
Looks Awesome!! maybe ours will be done tonight!!
LOVE IT! :) Its "Simply" perfect! I'm glad you like my mummy :) I want to go out and buy five more to carve!
I don't carve. Is that wrong?
We will be carving ours on Thursday. More than likely I will go the purist route.
I love the bloody hand print.
but I love mini-me's creative mind even more!!!!
Wow. I would never have thought of that cool carving.
It's fantastic!
I am not carving until tomorrow. My edges are always really messy. How are yours so clean?
I gotta admit, that is a pretty cool looking pumpkin.
Before it was lit, I thought it was "Wilson" from the movie Castaway.
That is an AWESOME carving! We cheat and buy those pattern books.
I like!
Legend.
Love it!
I love it! I didn't carve a pumpkin because here on the ranch we don't get any trick-or-treaters and we are 3 miles from our nearest neighbor so there's no point.
That's a kick ass pumpkin!!
Awe stop Daddy....Words that can never be replaced....stopping by from Kimberly...sorry I'm trying to broaden my horizons...It's completely a dream...a formality in my head...
Sincerely
darn girl
Awesome! It makes me wish we did stuff like that here.
We are just making a couple of pumpkin pies and put a small pumpkin in the front window.
Secretia
nice, i ussually see the hand with just the middle finger up
That is fantastic! I love the hand.
Great job! I haven't even bought a pumpkin yet.
My first thought when I saw that? "High five!"
Great work.
THAT. PUMPKIN. IS. AWESOME. I think it rocks!
We don't do Halloween here... some people do but the majority don't.
Awesome pumpkin. I have no carving skills only painting which is lame compared to carving and the whole glowing at night thing. Awesome blog as well. Let me know if you would ever like to work together.

I LOVE Halloween and everything that is related to Halloween I love!
Mini Me has quite an awesome imagination.
Excellent job on the pumpkin carving!
This is a great one and it was just what your son wanted. How could it be any better than that? :) I had no idea you were so creative though, have to admit.
