    My Halloween Pumpkins Part III

    If you're sitting around this weekend, and you have, say, 5 or 6 hours to kill you have several options.

    1. You could practice break dancing.

    2. You could re-shingle a portion of your own roof, guided only by online articles and half a Bob Villa show you saw 9 years ago.

    3. You could read the first page of Crime and Punishment.

    or ...

    You could  carve these pumpkins.

    Would you like to save this stuff?

    We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.

    ANY CHARA CTER HERE

    I did these Laurel and Hardy inspired pumpkins in 2006.  Cause, ya know ... all the kids love and recognize Laurel and Hardy.   I'm quite a dork.

    Please ignore the bad, blurry pictures. I knew even less about taking pictures back in 2006 than I do now. Plus I didn't know that one day I'd be posting my pumpkins on a blog. My blog. Hah! I have a blog.  Double dork. Anyhoooooo ...

    I'll leave the choice up to you, but I can tell you right now, if I had 5 or 6 hours to kill, I'd be breaking out the cardboard and the boombox.

    And we have a trifecta.

      These are so COOL, I've decided to forego pumpkin carving (I am a two triangles, square nose and toothless grin sort of "carver"). Instead, I will bring up photos of your pumpkins on my Macbook and point the screen out my front window. Any kid who gives me grief about it gets a nasty old box of raisins in their treat bag.

      Blurry photos aside, those pumpkins are cool! Even if the kids these days don't know who Laurel and Hardy are :P.

      PS, your photos have shown marked improvement!

      Do you EVEN know how talented you are???????? Seriously. If I can get the triangle eyes to be somewhat even and symmetrical I'm proud of myself! Amazing.

      I showed my kids your pumpkins, and my son said "THOSE ARE AWESOME!" (he's 11) and my daughter asked "WHAT are they?!" And I said "Laurel and Hardy" and she said "Who is she?" BAHAHAHA!

    My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.

    I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.

    So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.
