First I reprised last year's Peace Pumpkin (see link in the last entry). Then the Girl designed something a little more devilish for me to carve, and insisted on the addition of horns and twisty tail. I think it has come out rather well.I'm taking a break now, but will work on the Boy's effort tomorrow.
Also today I helped the Girl sew a ragdoll, made pumpkin soup (of course!) and had my hair cut. No-one has said anything complimentary about the latter yet, so perhaps that was also a bit of a carve-up?
Love the pumpkin, but won't it be a pile of orange mush by Halloween?
ReplyDeleteLittle House on the Prairie comes to Halloween? It wouldn't catch on here. If the outfit doesn't involve plastic fangs, forget it.
If the temperatures carry on as low as they have been lately the pumpkin will still be sitting on the porch in all its glory come the spring, frozen in time like a woolly mammoth.
