Two things.  First, congratulations to Pete and Katy for winning Tracy‘s first (annual?) virtual pumpkin carving contest.   To be clear, the contest is virtual, not the pumpking carving.  Perhaps it should be called a “Pumpkin Carving Virtual Contest”?  The pictures are pretty good, though I think Katy’s pumpkin, which is the skull face, looks better in person.  She used a white pumpkin, so looked about as close to a real skull as a pumpkin can.

In other news, my niece is still the best, as evidenced by this “chill’n with me pumpkin shot” photo.
