All my pumpkins last year were carved as the ghost. I hadnt carved a pumpkin since my kids were small. They usually sit uncarved on the wifes hay bale display with the mums and the cornstalks and the mutant squashes on the front porch. We arent home for Halloween to pass out candy anymore, we go see the grandkids. Last year though I had em carved and lit up with a big bowl of candy for the little ones to grab for themselves.
