Halloweeny Stuff ‘08

Up until the last few years, I haven’t really celebrated any holidays. It wasn’t really something my family did while I was growing up. Shawna and I decided to spend the day doing holiday stuff. My day started off with waking up early and going to a friends house to help him with his computer and get his scanner working. On my way home, I stopped my by Starbucks and got my housemates some coffee and a pumpkin spice latte. I ended up cooking breakfast burritos for everyone and then got ready to go to the local pumpkin patch with Shawna.

Once we got there, we went through the corn maze. She ended up finishing way before I did, but I eventually found my way once a guy pointed me in the right direction. Once I exited the maze, Shawna had been waiting for me for about 10 minutes. Apparently, my sense of direction is pretty crappy. We went through the pumpkin patch and found a few pumpkins to carve. We stopped by the store and got a few things to make halloween cupcakes an I thought it’d be cool to get some alcohol to make Brain Hemmorhage shots. Then we carved our pumpkins. Look below for the pictures.

This shot is called a Brain Hemmorhage. I saw it on BoingBoing and thought it’d be fun to make. It’s peach schnapp, float some bailey’s and pour a splash of grenadine through the bailey’s.

My super kick ass 2nd pumpkin I’ve ever carved. I just used a default template in the pumpkin carving book I had. I’m not that hardcore about carving pumpkins, I just like when they turn out nice.
