Fall is here, baby...

This past weekend, it was officially fall.
After seeing the Washington State Cougars (Cal State Washington as referred to by some) trounce the UCLA bruins (by the way, has anyone ever heard a bear referred to as a bruin outside of UCLA context before? I didn't think so...), the college group came to Ken and Beth's residence for some good old fashioned carving.
Below is Cory and I's entry.
I will have you know that this was made without the use extra-curricular pumpkin tools such as drills, exacto kits, sculpting materials, chisels, etc. Old fashioned blade and spoon is all. Well, we did have a pumpkin saw...

Here is ours with the rest of the entries...
43 days till this happy pumpkin-carving couple is a married happy pumpkin carving couple...
In 44 days that, this is where we will be as the married happy pumpkin carving couple.
Here is what our pumpkin looks like when you shut your eyes. Can't you just hear the ocean waves, the sand between your toes, a Wild Cherry Pepsi with an umbrella in it in your hand?
WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
In the Spirit of America voting, we are running against Jessi Gates, the Burns and Ken and Beth for the pumpkin party's nomination. You can check out the other entries by visiting Ken and Beth's blog (linked on the right).
Just remember that just because you can make a face like your pumpkin doesn't necessarily mean that it is quality art. Any pumpkin can have a face that can resemble Ken Flowers. But can every pumpkin transport you to a tropical paradise?
Don't be flakey, vote for Blakey.
Late,
Blakey

Oh, man. I must not have seen the finished product with the lights inside. I have to consider now whether to change my vote.

Actually, "Don't be Flakey, Vote for Blakey" is a tried and true tag-line that has succeeded in entering two Blakeys into office (mine was president of my elementary school) and I am pretty sure that my youngest brother Ben is planning on using it when he runs for the Presidency in 2042. Be on the lookout...
