I love pumpkin for baking, but I do not love it for carving. Slimy mess, stinky guts, and all those seeds you feel obligated to roast. I know, it's like not loving trees at Christmas. But I just can't handle the mess. So this is how we did pumpkins this year.
We found all the spare Mr. Potato Head supplies we could find
Dad drilled a hole
Presto! Pumpkin created
Aren't they adorable. I'm fairly certain they are going to get stolen by the high school students in our neighborhood, but for now, the look cute.
Then.....we went the pumpkin patch.
The first pumpkin's were from my brother's garden which Eloise calls her own pumpkin patch.
Here's this cute little pumpkin at 10 weeks old.

oh I love that picture of the three of them at the end. We have a kit that is the same idea as the potato head, just bigger parts - a clown, cat, etc. BUT I do miss the pumpkin seeds when i do it that way!
GREAT idea. I thought I was the ONLY one that hated the mess of carving!! We're painting ours this year...Jessica is not that thrilled about it! ;)
brilliant idea friend! i am not sure what's worse - pumpkin guts on halloween or turkey middles on thanksgiving!
