Lame-O-Lantern

by samantha on October 30, 2008

Ask a three year old what shapes to use and this is the result:

lame-o-lantern

The Lame-O-Lantern*.

Carter chiseled chest Superman costume will be a hit with the ladies at daycare. I’ll be beating the girls off my little man.

Maybe I’ll use The Lame-O-Lantern.

And I haven’t bought candy yet because I know I’ll eat it all between now and tomorrow night. This way I’ll be scrounging for the craptastical candy and whatever isn’t given out will just be substitute for the stuff I steal from Carter’s good shit tossed in the trashed.

Happy Hallowe’en!

*Dear 20 year-old Carter;

Mommy is just kidding; that’s what she does. She’s a jokester. I really loved your lame-o-lantern jack-o-lantern.

And what the hell are you doing here? You do not want to read this. Trust Me.

Well, I think I’ve got you beat, sista. My son’s lame-o-lantern consisted of him stabbing several pumpkins with a tiny little pic and then scribbling all over them. He was so proud and wanted it displayed on our front porch. The neighbors must think it’s some sort of warning….no one’s visited us for days. You’re funny. I’m coming back. (That’s not a threat. Well, maybe it is)

@ steenky bee (jenboglass):

OMG I laughed at that. I think if I were your neighbour, I may have stayed away too. LOL

Carter also coloured three mini pumpkins, no stabbing though. That will be for another year.

My son carved four pumpkins… They are, shall I say, interesting…
I still need to do photos because I am a bad mom.

I love how you wrote a note to 20 year old Carter.

My daughter also asked for (and received) a lame-o-lantern. Interestingly, our eyes were ovals but also had triangle pupils, and our nose was a square. Fortunately, she salvaged it a little by asking for a tongue sticking out.

Your pumpkin isn’t lame…simple is classic! I don’t even carve my pumpkins. I bought these cute little Mr. Potato Head type kits from Target…I just shove the pieces in and voila!

Happy Halloween!!!!

That is so not lame!!!

(I’m just saying that for Carter’s sake.)

Just kidding! It looks exactly like our jack-o-lantern.

Please, my fugly pumpkin could wipe the floor with your fugly pumpkins butt. Carter didn’t feel like drawing a mouth, so I had to convince him otherwise. He carved a circle. Lazy child.;)

@ Sammanthia:

Wait a minute. Your name is Samantha and you have a kid named Carter? Too weird. LOL

We used to be friends with a couple that were named Sam and Mike. It was the weirdest thing ever. Hahaha

LOL you should have seen David’s! And Joe sat there with him just dying to do it for him, always the Superintendent… and David, his equal in attitude and know how (ha ha ha) refused and insisted he would DO IT HIMSELF and could YES, USE A KNIFE!!!! The pictures are hilarious–one toothy grin and one snarled supervisor!!!
