We dont celebrate Halloween in SA but we carved a pumpkin anyway...

Luke spotted a carved pumpkin in one of the supermarkets and although this country is just starting to see Halloween as an event of note, most people just see it as another day and you dont get any trick or treaters yet.

Well we decided that we would buy a pumpkin and have a go at carving one. We (Martyn and I) had no idea at all how you are supposed to do it but we thought we would give it a go anyway.

It was a hot day on the Sunday and we were in the garden under the umbrella, you can see how warm it was by looking at the boys' flushed faces. The pumpkin turned out a huge success and Luke was really really excited. We had to wait till quite late to put the candle inside so it would light up. Poor thing, he wanted us to leave it lit all night in his room. Yeah right.

Okay I tried to upload a pic but its not working so I will have to work this one out guys, be patient.
Thanks
