Boo!

Can you tell which is mine?

Halloween dawned and lo! It was time for the annual pumpkin carving ritual. Closely followed by the Making pumpkin Soup ritual and, a week later, the Throwing Away the Slightly Furry Pumpkin in the Fridge ritual.

Much as it made my teeth itch, I sat on my hands and let BabyDragon and SmallDragon#2 do their own with no intervention,. SmallDragon#1 had gone off to stay at a friends house so, much to his disappointment, he missed out.

Smile!

As you can see, some are better than others. There is no photo of the one I made with SmallDragon#1's pumpkin. It was vomiting pumpkin inners down the front step.

 I suspect my days in the Residents' Association are numbered.

This was the first year I have let the SmallDragons go Trick or Treating and it was every bit as tedious as I had imagined. We played by Pumpkin Rules -  no pumpkin, no knocking. Of course the bonus of being out for an interminable half an hour was that I got left with a supply of mini Twix, Mars Bars and Malteasers. Hurrah!
