For years I've seen pictures of cool carved pumpkins on US blogs & always wanted to try it. This year for the first time, the large orange pumpkins were available in supermarkets here.
So last Saturday I acquired a pumpkin and the Fig child & I got started with the carving. Scooping out all the seeds & innards was messym, but the actual carving was easy & fun. We're very happy with our first time efforts :-).
The Imp's cub pack had a halloween themed night Monday & they were requested to come in costume. Imp borrowed her brother's skeleton suit, and I added the makeup. It was meant to be skull makeup, but ended up more zombie like. Imp won a prize for best costume - some of the others had the same skeleton suit, but she was the only one with face paint.
Just like a seasoned pro on that wicked looking pumpkin. The facepaint is awesome as well. We did nothing. Unbelievable but it crept up on us.
