This is what our entrance area looks like tonight:
I know it's early but they are our own home grown pumpkins, lovingly carved, and we won't be here for Halloween week-end so we'll light them every evening for as long as the pumpkins hold.
I tried to make a star shape on top:
I'm rather pleased, since these are my second and third carved pumpkins.

Very good Droopy, those look great.
I like the lopsided look on a couple of the eyes, that gives them great character.

Thanks for liking our lanterns. Norway has no tradition for carving pumpkins or putting out lanterns, but what else can one do with home-grown pumpkins? The girls are loving them, of course, but like the pumpkin cookies better. I just hope the frost won't make them all soft too quickly.

Now, Bluewolf, don't say that. Here in Norway we assume all Americans do it. We'll trade. I've done it so you won't have to.

I never get around to it either... but my neighbors would be impressed if I ever did put out some jack-o-lanterns that look like yours.

Works for me!!!
We usually put up my inflatable 12ft Scooby Witch, a life size zombie, a life sized skeleton, cobwebs spiders and tombstones and some other doodads
but we're not going to this year can't afford to by candy so no sense attracting the little goblins
