Halloween - noun. hal-low-een, Allhallows Eve: observed esp. by children in costumes who solicit treats, often by threatening minor pranks.

It's officially fall here in Charlotte; nice and cold, just to our liking! We finally carved our pumpkins just in time for Halloween and also got some pretty fall colors around the house. Here's a little harvest update.
We got one last stop at the local farmer's market, before it closes...we're sad to see it go, we think they could stay open longer than Halloween but it's not up to us! We like to touch the pumpkins.
A pretty fall tree a couple blocks from our house.
More leaves...
One last one, Maples make the prettiest fall trees.
Our family of pumpkins before we get to carving. A papa pumpkin, a mama pumpkin and a little baby pumpkin.
And the final product! Caleb's cool face, my silly monster and little X-man's little x. Now we can light their candles and set them on the porch.

Your pumpkins put mine to shame... I'm a real traditionalist when it comes to jack o' lanterns. two triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a crooked smile... really scares the hell out of the devils and pagan spirits floating around.
Yeah... Grandma's is going to be good. I wish you guys could be up here.
