There are two sides to..

There are two sides to every pumpkin. Many more if you consider that it is round! At least two sides though, from a carving point of view!

With a lot of enthu this morning (thanks to a good night's sleep), daddy decided to carve up what remaining space was available on the small pumpkin from last night.(note the small circle, which was the little one's contribution to the drawing effort. Next year, we will ask her to draw a pillaiyar suzhi, which will be added to the carving and give a new desi twist to Halloween)

For added effect we decided to use the haunted house to create a shadow on the wall for the pictures.

Now that a more complicated pattern has been done, daddy is happy and will take a long afternoon nap to celebrate Halloween.

Wow.. good one Sundar..!! btw I was watching GM America the other day and a carving expert said, that nowdays the lower part of the pumpkin is cut instead of the top half.. this allows the attached seeds to come out easily and gives it a flat surface to balance on

I would prefer that too.. but it is easier to place the candle, light it and cover the top as opposed to light the candle and place the entire pumpkin on that base.. unless of course you completely toss the base!
