Pumpkin Carving Templates
Every year, the fraccy family carves pumpkins… one for each of the three fraccy children. I can’t remember a year that we didn’t, and because fracas is old (really old…) that means pumpkins have gone under the knife here just about as often as Joan Rivers. Sometimes, there’s charm in the basic triangle-eyed chicklet-toothed grin (especially if it was carved by one of your children who have finally grown old enough to use a knife and done it all on their own) but sometimes you’re looking for something fancy… or even funny.
So here’s a list of places you’ll be able to find pumpkin carving patterns that range from the very easy to the very spectacular. (Each link has been verified to be live and containing free patterns as of the date of posting.)
Browse around, choose the one that will make your front stoop the bee’s knees, and if you should remember to take a photo, come back and share it with us; we’d love to see your art!

More Halloween ideas for decor, food and fun can be found over at yet another of fracas’ blogs: Just Fracas. And now that you’ve found the perfect pumpkin pattern… have you got your costume yet, or are you still looking for that perfect wig, shoes or makeup? What about candy? Everyone needs good candy. I think there’s a law somewhere that says so. Speaking of which… I think I forgot something over here… yeah… that’s it… I ‘forgot’ something. It’s not like I’m cheating on my diet or anything…
Boo-bye for now.
