Carve a pumpkin

I’ve carved pumpkins many times, and then they sit on my front stoop and rot. I’d much rather paint a face on it with non-toxic paint, wash it off after the holiday and make something pumpkiny to eat. Of course when my daughter is old enough to appreciate it we’ll carve one or two, my problem is I get too creative with the whole thing :)

Darn! I was a little late on halloween this year. Last minute costumes. Last minute parties. Last minute everything. The boyfriend and I were suppose to carve a pumpkin together. I would be the first time for both of us. But, once again, I procrastinated. Definitely, next year!

We managed to get this done, but we were trying to get out the door, so it was last minute and a bit quick & sloppy. Mine was gnawing on a pipe and Markus wanted his to look like a howling electrical socket. We still had fun & it was nice to came back to that happy orange light, funky shadows and toasty pumpkin scent. Does anyone have a good recipe for seeds?

for a first attempt, that’s a pretty sick pumpkin by anyones standards.
now all i need is some angry oranges lazzoo-style! :’)

I finally carved my pumpkin :) I’m proud of myself. It’s cute and I didn’t use a stencil or anything!

CHECK!

(Not that last year’s spooky watermelon wasn’t a smashing good time, but we thought we’d be a bit more traditional this year)

i havnt done one in a while, and for halloween it sounds fun.
:]

Now I have to wait about a fortnight to carve it and for my mum to have scooped out all the insides for soup.

Well I bought a pumpkin, so there’s step one!

Haha, just another Halloween goal!
