It’s that time of year again! Jay and I carved our pumpkin on Sunday night. We’ve done so every year since I moved to Raleigh and every year, I break out the old camera and take lots of unnecessary pictures to document that Jay can successfully carve a pumpkin! (2009, 2010, 2011.) We also drink beer and torture Zoe with costumes. Ah, good times. You know, I actually looked for a new costume for Zoe this year, but I didn’t like anything that I came across at PetSmart. I still really want to get her Mickey Mouse ears, so hopefully I can find those one of these days. If anyone comes across legit Mickey/Minnie ears for cats, holler at me because I know a kitty in Raleigh who’s day I have to ruin with them.
Here’s the evening in pictures. I only forced Zoe to try on two costumes this year and the inside of the pumpkin was too damp for us to light it, so I’ll have to post a picture of it lit up later on. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Costume #2 did not last very long. Excuse how gross I look in this picture. I’ve reached that age where unfortunately I need to wear make-up to look decent in pictures. Sad day, indeed!
Hard at work crafting the face.
Watching with curiosity.
Brave enough to get a little closer…
Ta daaaa!
One more for good measure. A little bit of a different mouth this year.
