Better late than never
« on: November 09, 2004, 09:22:23 »
Finally uploaded my pics from Halloween.

Nothing as professional as some of the carvings on here, but I'm proud as it's my first home-grown pumpkin!



Can you spot the resemblance?

hehehe, tis you with the lights on!  Good one.!!  OUrs are still firm and happy and sitting on our back step looking in at the house.  The kids can't stand the thought of me chucking them on the compost heap so they will remain for the time being, altho they have become a haven for slugs...which looks kinda yuck as they are slithering out of the mouths and eyes!

Oooh EJ, Lauren (my youngest g'daughter) will be very happy when I tell her that you have provided shelter for the slugs and snails - she loves them so!

Hey Speedy M, you must have sat in front of the mirror to carve that one - excellent likeness! ;D

Yes, fun and very messy. We enjoyed the seeds once we'd roasted them as well.

Unfortunately I left the pumpkin at my brother's house after his Halloween party. There's a distinct possibility that it ended up in the bin, rather than being made into soup before it went manky. Boo.

Unfortunately my biggest pumpkin went soggy before I got to carve it, so it wasn't quite as large as I'de hoped. Next year I'm going for a couple of big 'uns as well as some "eaters".
