Every year we have made it a family tradition to carve special Halloween pumpkins.  This year Lauren picked out two spooky Zombie Pumpkins (the website the patterns are from).  Cody and I painstakingly carved these pumpkins last night, and let Lauren stay up late to take pictures with them.  I then put them on the front porch to keep them fresh and cold... and found them brutally dismembered this morning.  Our fuzzy squirrel friend (who Lauren has named Nutty) has eaten and stashed pumpkin chunks all over our yard.  So apparently all of our hard work was to feed a hungry little squirrel.  Happy Halloween all!

I understand that it is perhaps hard to understand why a vegetarian would make a hunting hat.  I actually have no problem at all with hunting. My husband, his family, and most of my friends are all hunters.  It's not something I am personally capable of doing, but I respect the idea of living off the land.  Organic, free range animals, that have lived healthy lives in the wild... I certainly think its the way to go if you are going to eat meat.  SO, in honour of all those hunters heading out this fall, and for my husbands strong family tradition of Moose meat and macaroni suppers, I knitted up this hat.  I'd love to hear your thoughts, and happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone!
