    Pumpkin carving is my therapy. I really get it all out.

    Pumpkin carving night with my crew, and we really cut loose.

    Before and after carving: this pumpkin had a serious glow-up.

    Out at the pumpkin patch, just here for the gourd times.

    My jack-o'-lantern is a little rough around the edges, like me.

    Squash goals at the pumpkin patch today.

Candy and trick-or-treat captions

  • Caption

    Caught chocolate-handed raiding the kids' candy stash.

  • Caption

    Handing out full-size candy bars this year. We raised the bar.

  • Caption

    Found the last peppermint in the candy bowl. Mint to be.

    Traded my raisins for my sister's chocolate. Sweet deal.

    Ate way too much caramel, and now I'm in a sticky situation.

  • Caption

    My candy count might be a little sugar-coated.

Spooky night captions

    Took the graveyard tour tonight. Dead quiet, highly recommend.

  • Caption

    Full moon, good friends, and we're howling with laughter.

  • Caption

    Bonfire, blankets, and ghost stories: a frightfully good night.

    That haunted house was an absolute scream.

    Horror movies until 3 a.m. I'm officially a creature of the night.

    Fog rolling in tonight. Feeling very mist-erious.

Group, couple and pet costume captions

  • Caption

    Went as a lock and key, because we just click.

  • Caption

    Dressed as salt and pepper. Seasoned pros at couple costumes.

  • Caption

    Group costume: a box of crayons. Never looked sharper.

  • Caption

    We went as a pair of socks. Perfect match, obviously.

  • Caption

    Went as two peas in a pod this year. Typecasting, honestly.

  • Caption

    Whole family went as a bunch of grapes. We're a tight bunch.

Tip: Match the caption to the photo's main prop: a pumpkin pun for the patch, a candy pun for the haul, a costume pun for the group shot.
