The World's Worst Pumpkin Carver

Is me.
I stink at carving pumpkins.
Honestly, I was so embarrassed with my pumpkin carving skills that I almost didn't want to display them on my front porch.
But then I did.
{Because, well you can put whatever the heck you want to on your front porch when you're the last house living on a dead end street ;)}
Seriously, how terrible are they??!!
And if you're thinking "oh, that one on the right isn't too bad..."
That's because I didn't carve that one.
Mine's the tall one on the left with the gaping hole in it's face.

In my defense, we weren't working with very good knives.
I know excuses, excuses. :)

But one good thing I did learn from this fall experience is that Huckleberry loves to eat raw pumpkin.
He did not want to let that piece go.  

Have you carved pumpkins this fall? Better get to it!

I don't even TRY to carve pumpkins because my skills are so appalling! Loving cute Huck here though :) My pup goes nuts when I open a can of pumpkin to bake with ~ she loves it!

Hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is terrible at this! Pinterest makes it look so easy.

Honestly, your pumpkins do not look bad. I actually love the joined eyes! We used to have a bull dog that ate everything. Literally, everything. We actually had to put him to sleep because of all the crap that he ate that his stomach and intestines started growing around. But anyways, once, we walked outside after carving pumpkins and guess who ate all the goop and seeds we took out of the pumpkins? :) Your dog is too cute. I also love your blog.

Haha love them! Don't worry you are not the only one- last year I tried carving a witch from a cut out and it turned out looking like a big holy with a hat!!

Ha ha how cute your dogs look like eating the pumpkin. I just hope that it's not the first one you carve or else I will scream it myself if that happens to me! lol. I did'nt able to experience yet carving one. Halloween is not a big deal all over here not like in your place. Glad that we do have trick and treat that kids love.

This Halloween activity is very interesting. We don't do it here in our place, maybe because we find it unethical to carve pumpkins as if we're making fun of a vegetable. But seriously, I am amazed with how talented those who could carve. Thanks for these pumpkin carving ideas . I would love to list them on my collection please. Cheers and good day always!
