It’s that time of year again to go wild with the face paint and walk the streets in search of sweets and mischief. One of the best traditions in our house has been the halloween pumpkin carving. This is totally the domain of my OH. I’m so proud of him I couldn’t resist the urge to showcase our previous years offerings. We are set to try and beat these beauties this year but we haven’t even bought the pumpkins yet! Everything has been so busy and even though I have seen them in the shops they are yet to make their way to our house. Stay tuned and they will be on show soon! So, back to last years carvings.
The evening started with the humble pumpkin…
A couple of years ago we brought a pack with all the carving tools in it. It was obviously the OH setting the scene for him to get serious!
The preparation has started and all of the insides are taken out. Sounds gruesome but it’s definitely in the Halloween theme. He uses the stencil for the main shape and marks out the outline.
Before we know it, the unveiling is upon us and look….
Oh yeah, not just one, but two! the Prince of Darkness is joined by the Spooky Spider.
I love them and the kids think they are fab! They will sit outside our house on Halloween with candles in them and let people know that we are joining in the fun.
How is your Halloween going so far? Do you love to get into the spirit of it, if so how do you celebrate?

They look amazing Mainy. Hope you had a great Halloween. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time
I love Halloween, what amazing pumpkins. We have one of the kits which meant my 6 year old could cut his own pumpkin. I am not very good at doing the carving but love seeing all the great ones.
Oh wow! You have some talent there!! We’re not really big Halloween fans and didn’t do anything for Halloween really. But I love looking at other people’s carved pumpkins! #KCACOLS
we are pretty big fans of Halloween over here but I’ll confess that we don’t do the pumpkin carving. Its too messy for me to be honest. lol #KCACOLS
