I really wish I had carved a pumpkin this year, or painted one, but I didn't:( I won't have the opportunity to go to the store until at least Halloween, either. I like Halloween a lot but we don't even get Trick-or-Treaters here anymore, and it just feels so different now:-P Maybe next year I can do something in honor of Halloween, but it will still be very different. I think I will buy a pumpkin, though, and just keep it as an autumn decorative. Uncarved they last quite a long time! That would be nice.
