Pumpkin carving fun on the Eastside
October 27th, 2009 at Tue, 27th, 2009 at 12:46 pm by lindsaylarinIt’s that time of year again.
The leaves are falling and the days are growing dark earlier. It’s time for the overindulgence of pumpkin pie and the endless Christmas lists- but first- it’s pumpkin carving time. Whether you take a day trip to a pumpkin patch or swing by your local grocery store, find the cream of the crop in the pumpkin pile and try your hand at carving a scary ghost or devilish face. Here are a few photos of carved pumpkins sent my way from Eastsiders getting in the spirit of the holiday season. Have a fun and safe Halloween.
If you have any fun pumpkin carving photos you want to send to the Bellevue Reporter, email them my way at llarin@bellevuereporter.com.

A carved pumpkin will greet tricker-treaters in Bothell with a glowing grin this coming weekend.
