Halloween has never really been a major celebration in Australia…… well not for us anyhow. But last year we had so many Trick-Or-Treaters. So this year we thought we would do a little to join in. Ben and I bought our first pumpkins to carve.
I cut lids and opened them and thought ewwwwww really??!!!! I wasn’t expecting so much slop!! I also didn’t really have any idea of what we would carve. So I did what every good researcher does and ‘Googled’ it – Halloween carving templates and How to carve a pumpkin. I had everything I could possible need right on the computer screen – Thank you Mr Google!
Ben and Andrew picked a scarey design and I picked a more smiley one. I used a small stanely knife as I found that the easiest. This is what we ended up with (don’t look too closely!).
And in the dark…..
It was a bit of fun. Ben is excited to put them out tomorrow and hand out lollies to the Trick-Or-Treaters. So I think this is when I am supposed to say ‘Happy Halloween!’ (I’m a Newbie).
Linking up with Life Made Lovely Monday (I know this is my second link up but there is so many lovely things happening!)
I like your pumpkins! Great job Belinda! 🙂
I love this family blog Belinda. I know I have said that before but it is so enjoyable to read!!!
They look fantastic , I love reading your blog too !!
Pumpkins look great as does the scary face. Good one Ben (and Belinda)
WOW! For the first time? These are fantastic! I’m impressed. I hate the goop too, as does my son. My daughter though will stick her hands right in! It’s a fun tradition to keep. Even the smell becomes part of the fond memory. 🙂
