Pumpkin Gallery from the Blogging Baby staff
Categories: Fun & activities
This year the staff of Blogging Baby decided to get together and share our creative side with our readers. We are an enthusiastic bunch and have been toiling away with our children to share our festive, carved pumpkins with you all. Some of us are veteran pumpkin designers and begin our carving plans in the late summer. Others loathe the feel of slimy seeds touching our hands and just wish the whole experience to be over. Whatever the case, we hope you enjoy the pictures we will share with you throughout this Halloween day!
I had a completely different intention when I began carving my pumpkin this year, but intentions do not always become results. I had envisioned a stained glass sort of pumpkin, but discovering that it is truly no fun to grate crayons and since I am out of cartridges for my glue gun, I opted for a different theme. As I was mulling over a design, I spied all of the many plastic animals strewn about the floor of the kitchen, I was then hit with the image of a carousel. Everybody knows that if a pumpkin is not going to turn into a carriage, it will most surely become a carousel.
My oldest son refused to carve a pumpkin, he had already done one at school. My youngest son had his entertainment quota filled by simply playing in all of the pumpkin seed guts. My daughter carved a traditional face and then wandered off to read a book. I was left alone with paints and plastic horses. Other than the initial drama of changing my design plans, we had a great, if not rather messy, evening. Happy Halloween to everybody!
