Jack O' Lanterning the Neighborhood One Garage Party at a Time

My Fab Neighbor
Jenger
missed her true life calling
(besides being a wife and mother- she rocks that)

She should have been an event planner


Our boring little neighborhood
has been hopping lately
thanks to her.

Labor Day Picnic
(sorry, no camera, no pics)


and now
a Pumpkin Carving Party


Which unfortunately was rained out of her backyard
and fortunately into my recently cleaned garage
(thank you honey for cleaning it even though I wished it had been the kitchen at the time)


People brought treats
(somehow, I only have a pic of the empty Cider Pot)


and pumpkins


and happy laughter


and fun


and pumpkin carving tools to share


these were our first designer pumpkins
(more than just the good old triangle eyes nose and gap toothed mouth)


and I think they
turned out pretty darn good


Poo poo for you
all you neighbors
who chose to ignore our invitations
to make merry


You missed a rockin
(if somewhat messy and slimy)
garage pumpkin party.

Thank you Jenger
for following through on your awesome idea.
Loved it.

Great pumpkins! This year was our first year doing designer pumpkins as well. Absolutely love the stencils!
