Happy Halloween!

Hubby and I decided to do some pumpkin carving today... As it's halloween, most places have already ran out of pumpkins for sale. So, we made a few phone calls to Cold Storages around our area and later found out that King Albert Park's branch have some pumpkins left for sale. We made a quick trip there.. When we arrived there, there's still a number of giant pumpkins, a couple of medium pumpkins and a few small ones.. They also have really tiny ones with printed face and feather on them.. really cute. The good news was all pumpkins were on 25% off the original prices.. Guess it was a good idea to do pumpkin shopping last minute.

..:::The giant pumpkins and the tiny one:::..

We went home with a medium sized pumpkin and a small one. This was the first time we ever carved a pumpkin, so, we weren't sure that it'll work.. I've printed the stencils for the pumpkins earlier on. After dinner, we started work. Here's our results:

..:::The small one's a bat and the big one's a looney pumpkin:::..

..:::The lights off:::..

It's much easier to clean and carve a larger pumpkin.. the small one is really difficult to clean.. Needless to say we were both happy with our work.. It's really easy, but time consuming.. but we both had loads of fun..

Next year, we'll do it earlier so that we can decorate the front part of the house..

..:::Arghh! Hear me roar!:::..

Happy Halloween!
