We used the carving kit that my mom sent us to follow a pattern and carve a sweet pumpkin. it was kinda hard but worth it in the end. Until we accidentally left the pumpkin by the heater one night and it completely filled up with black mold and got all soft. It was a serious biohazard for a while there.
This was us after carving our first pumpkin.
Ours is the skull and crossbones. The ghost is our friend jenni's and the flamingo is our friend becca's.
This was the second pumpkin we carved after our first pumpkin succumbed to the forces of fungi.
