Carving pumpkins

[Gingerbread]

Every year I host a pumpkin carving party :Glowpump: I make a bunch of appetizers, we spread plastic tablecloths down on the floor and we carve pumpkins and watch Halloween specials. Well this year I had to mix it up a bit, I wanted everyone to still have fun but also be smart about it. So I moved it outside. I decorated my screened porch and had food set out in there and then each guest had their own "spot" in the yard. I staked down tablecloths, and marked each spot with a tombstone with each guests name painted on it. We ate, carved our pumpkins and then when it started to get dark we had a fire and s'mores and I have a projector and speakers so we watched The Great Pumpkin and Garfield Halloween off the side of the garage. It was a fun party, we may even continue to do it outside if the weather permits in the future and now that the friends know I have a projector they all have suggested movie nights for me to host... I may have really started something LOL

AND to make it even better! One of my friends just got a Frenchie puppy. She was supposed to come to my party but got called into work. She asked if I could puppysit for the day and I was like, OF COURSE! Sorry, not sorry you can't make it LOL So I had an adorable puppy for the day and of course everyone at the party loved on him, and since we were having a party of course we had to run out so his Aunt Gingerbread could buy him a Halloween shirt! Having him in the house reminded me how nice it was to have a doggo around, might be helping me baby step towards getting another pup at some point but until then I'm happy to pupsit and then give him back to his mom LOL

Can you guys guess which pumpkin was mine?!?!? LOL

Oh my heaven and stars I am in love with that pupper doodle. How insanely adorable is he?? I want to snuggle him, get all the puppy kisses and snuggles I miss most. Snorting of a bully breed.

Also, I wish I lived close to you so I could come to one of your parties. They always look like so much fun. I love a good party with a theme. The pumpkins all turned out great, looks like you had some master carvers among you.

Wow, those pumpkins look fantastic, well done! The kitty pumpkins are amazing, and the "cannibal pumpkin" looks really scary, I wouldn't want to encounter that face it on a dark, stormy night.

What a great idea!! It turned out really nice. LOL your pumpkin is your pony avatar. I love it. I told my family I wanted a pony pumpkin this year but I'm not sure how to achieve it just yet. I want to move closer too @Skybreeze!!

Oh, the pony party I would throw if you guys could all come!! I do enjoy hosting a party, I'm still trying to think of how to do my Christmas one. It's usually a wrapping party. Everyone brings their gifts and I have all the supplies for wrapping up our presents. I think it'll be too cold for that outside but we'll see what else I can come up with.
I get to keep puppy again next week for a day, he's a handful but when he gets sleepy he gets super cuddly
