This was also our first year to have a pumpkin. When I was a kid we just had turnips, but now it seems the kids all want pumpkins. I recall mum's hands being so sore after carving my turnip so I certainly wasn't looking forward to carving a pumpkin!!!! I drew the face on our pumpkin & passed the buck to my husband. I now know why turnips are out & pumpkins are in, THEY ARE HOLLOW !!!! The only carving needed was the face!
With Jess my eldest already out trick or treating & Grace all ready (dressed as a pumpkin) to go out, we had our first group of kids knocking the door. Quick I said to Grace, there are some trick or treaters at the door, as I got to the porch I quickly turned to tell her it was just a delivery man. There were 2 boys stood in screen masks & black cloaks, enough to terrify an adult never mind a 2yr old ready to experience her very first halloween!
