And I signed up to write 30 posts in how many days?

Thanks to those who have sent in submissions for the latest photo assignment. (Let it be known that Bruno will not be visiting Aubrey, Sarah, Tori, Silandara, Jon, Cadiz, and Jonathan, who all had their assignments in on time.) I meant to make a gallery of images today, but I never got a chance. Then I was going to do it after Chuck tonight, but then tears and flattery persuaded me to extend the deadline. But because Tuesday night TV is horrible, I will very likely post the assignment results Tuesday night.

I carved one of our pumpkins tonight. In case you're not familiar with my pumpkin carving, look at my 2005 effort and how I stepped it up in "oh sicks". (I read somewhere that the kids were all writing it like that last year. It's so appropriate that I didn't read that until 2006 was already over.) So here's how we do in the double-oh-seven:

I wouldn't say it screams "fear," but at least it's better than the vampire in '05. I'm still deciding what to do with our other pumpkin, I'll post pictures later in the week. The boy insists that I give it a face, and he also requested that I give the face a mustache and beard. I'm admittedly not sure how to carve that yet, but I'll see what I can do.
