The Great Pumpkin Carving


Once again, the night before Halloween, Will and I found ourselves carefully carving our scary pumpkins. Alas, this year we weren't carving our own pumokins, but that doesn't mean we skimped on the scary!





We did save some seeds for next year (these were organic pumpkins) and roasted the rest, sharing them with the ladies downstairs busy decorating Halloween Cookies.

The final products:

Ooo...spooky. And yet...

Why would anyone carve pumpkins *inside*?? Was it raining?

The mess, dudes! Of course, perhaps you're one of those people who can carve gracefully. Not I.

Actually we did it inside on newspaper - clean up was simple. Just folded it all up and dumped it onto the compost pile.

Next years tomatoes will be tastier than ever.

We had slightly fewer kids coming by for sweets this year but overall it was an enjoyable evening.
