This year, I was determined to check this item off my 50 Things To Do Before I'm 50 List, and we purchased several pumpkins early in October. Later in the month, Robbie picked up a pumpkin carving kit for me, and I might have grabbed a few chocolate marshmallow pumpkins to enjoy, too.
We spent a FUN afternoon carving the pumpkins.
I have to admit that I didn't enjoy cleaning out all the messy goo and it was harder to carve than I anticipated (especially since the rind on my pumpkin was twice as thick as the one on Robbie's pumpkin, even though his was a lot bigger in size!).
We set our creations outside, and I really do like the way they looked all lit up!
While I doubt this will become an annual activity, I'm happy to say I was ACTIVE in checking another item off my 50 Things To Do Before I'm 50 List!
Aww these look fab! I’ve only ever carved one pumpkin before and it was hard work! Glad you have ticked another thing off your list. Looking forward to seeing all your posts on your recent vacation and all the photos you have taken :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a saying about pumpkin craving - no guts, no glory! (lol).
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkins are ... are ... lovely? No I think maybe friendly but fierce looking .. .is that a good description for pumpkins?
I love that you wore colour coordinating t-shirts for the carving session! I think I've carved a pumpkin once, when TBC was a toddler, and I didn't like the mushy insides at all!
ReplyDeleteWe used to carve pumpkins every year, but haven't done that in a while. We cut them up for soup instead :)
