Last Friday, Avery had an alley pumpkin carving challenge at Tom Mannion’s house. There were two pumpkins per alley, and plenty of snacks to go around – pie, corn dogs, bagel bites, donuts, and even warm apple cider (yummm!).
My alley, Alley 1, carved a Charlie Brown pumpkin and Joker pumpkin. Both of them required a lot of precision, and I think they turned out really well!
Why so serious?
And here’s some pictures of the incredibly creative designs everyone else had!

Kitty, Pac-Man, and the Morton Salt girl.

Minion, Homura (an anime character), and Kitty, again.

Jesus, Tim (a kid in Avery), and doge.

The winner: two wolves howling. (Sorry for bad picture!)
Pumpkin carving was definitely a welcome break from midterms. I can’t wait to see what everyone thinks of next year!
