Having heaps of fun for Halloween

Halloween has finally come - and gone by now, too. In Slovenia we don't usually celebrate it the way they do in the USA. We don't have "Trick or treat!" and until recently we never had Halloween parties, either. However, we did have pumpkins. The ones who were fortunate to grow them themselves or get them from some friends would put all sorts of pumpkins around their houses: big ones, small ones, orange, green and white ones - you could see pumpkins of all shapes and sizes on people's gardes. But lately pumpkin carving has become quite popular, as well. So, this year you could see many pumpkins with faces on lawns, windows and balconies. I was lucky to get two pumpkins myself this year (a big one and a small one) and they were both of beautiful bright orange colour. Of course, I didn't miss the great opportunity to carve them. I decided to make a couple of "Mummy and Baby" and you can see above how they looked. Well, I must say I enjoyed the carving as much as the mysterious glowing of the two little figures afterwards. It was great! I certainly intend to do it again next year! Who knows - I might even try to make a whole family of four or even more!
