Pumpkins and sharp objects

I can't seem to shake the feeling that carving pumpkins is going to end in severed thumbs.  Especially when using kitchen knives.  Even more so when the handle breaks off the kitchen knife mid carving.  

However, we made it through the evening without blood and without a need for stitches. 

I also feel like crying when walking home in the dark  I spot the fake body hanging in the window of our neighbor's house.  

Happy Halloween everyone.  Eat candy.  Drink cider.  And watch Charlie Brown.  Because no one knows how to celebrate a holiday like Charlie Brown.
