*1125 - halloween

Belated but I thought this had to go up first before anything else because the season's practically over and these are getting stale.

I found my hidden talent on Halloween. I think I may need to look into offering professional pumpkin carving services, specializing in cute animals.









Guess whose is whose? ;)

My second pumpkin carving attempt ever, and we were both rather shocked at my dexterity in carving a cute bunny into a pumpkin. I was particularly shocked because my first attempt a few years back was pretty lame and I would rather not resurface memories of it.

His first pumpkin carving attempt ever ... valiant effort, I suppose ;)

The innards were, of course, not discarded but made into delicious pumpkin muffins. My first time using fresh pumpkin instead of tinned pumpkin puree (just chop up and roast with cinnamon until soft) and it was surprisingly fragrant and pumpkinny. Mmmm.
