Pumpkin Carving: I Wish I Could Do That

October 31, 2011 by Erin

If I had a ton of free time and wasn’t working and raising two kids on my own, I would take a pumpkin carving class. Do they have those??? Well, they should. Because if they did I would take them and do amazing things like these.


Spider Man

This one’s great!


Gizmo

Totally cool eye

Jack

This is absolutely amazing!

Smile Face

Bulldog

Apple


WOW!

Super cool, right? We will be sticking with the basic triangle eyes, nose and a mouth. =o)

Happy Halloween!

It’s absolutely amazing what people can do with a plain old pumpkin! Love the zipper faced one. Can’t wait to see our little goblins all dressed up to trick or treat.

Some of those are really cool! This year my daughter carved a Kabuki face and I carved a silly face.

Both came from this site: http://www.paperpumpkins.com/

Oh my gosh, those are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Sure wish I had just a fraction of that talent. With grown kids now I just line the yard with small pumpkins….no more carving here. 🙁

What an amazing line-up of pumpkin carving skills!

REAL Rootbeer Float Popsicles

This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]

Gory Cupcakes for Halloween

For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]

Slimy Slug Candy

I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]

Faux Deviled Eggs for April Fools Day

I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]

Campfire Roasted Starburst Candies

Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]

Sloppy Joe Intestines

You’re going to think this is either gross or totally cool. Or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, it’s perfect for Halloween! And my kids thought it was totally grossly cool! Sloppy Joe Intestines! Or maybe it’s Sloppy Joe Colon. But that sounds too gross, even for me. I found the idea here […]

Gruesome Green Toes

I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]

Alien Invasion… For Dinner???

The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]
