I'll admit, carving the pumpkin is not my favorite task. I love designing it, but the whole production of digging out the seeds doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't really appeal to Princess D either (getting her hands dirty? Puh-lease...) which is why we're enlisting my husband's help to do the dirty work, and the carving.
If you're late in the pumpkin carving game like we are, perhaps you need a few ideas. I've done a little bit of Jack-o-lantern research and come up with my Top 5 Favourite Pumpkin Designs! They're epic. For reals. :) So in no particular order:
#1 You can't go wrong with the Classic Pumpkin Design. I know in my lifetime I've done several like this, complete with the zig-zag top and pac-man eyes.
#2 I love this Black Cat Pumpkin as it's not your typical pumpkin face. This one is my daughter's personal favourite. The hanging stars really make it stand out!
#3 Why not try something different, and do a Mummy Pumpkin?
#4 Or go slightly more scary -- I love this -- and do a Pumpkin Skull!
#5 And if you have any little boys in your house, or you know, grown men who sometimes like to do boy things, maybe a Mario Pumpkin is your style. ;)
So there you have it! Some great ideas for this year, or maybe to save for next year. How did you/do you plan to design your pumpkin this Halloween???
