Pumpkins

[staylor]

We carved our pumpkins tonight since Chris will not get home early enough to do them during the week. This is the picture my sister took and then she made me cry. Chris carved a Lab into his pumpkin and when my sister looked at the picture she said, "look at Crash, there is an angle light shining through."

How the heck do you celebrate Halloween ??? . Nobody does pumpkins, costumes, trick or treat etc.....
The only way would be is if you know af a halloween theme party. But its not like overseas where everywhere you go houses are dolled up and kids in costumes running around.

And what is "cincodemayo" ???

Mexico's Day of the Dead.

Ahhhhh think Ive seen pics of it at one stage

Cinco de Mayo isn't Day of the Dead. It's the day that represent the victory over the French in Mexico. It's sometime in May.

Day of the Dead is held generally for three days at the end of October and is the celebration of the dead, or All Souls Day.

Sandra, is the first pumpkin "Sleepy Hollow"?

 

[staylor]

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on May 5th. Literally translated from Spanish to English is fifth of May. All I know is here in the states everyone goes to the Mexican Restaurants and drinks and parties.

Yes the first one is Sleepy Hollow. The 2nd is a bat, 3rd is Crash, 4th is a witch hat and spider.
