Have you carved your pumpkins yet?

Have you ladies carved your pumpkins yet? When are you planning on carving them if you haven't yet?

Any Pictures?

Re: Have you carved your pumpkins yet?

  • We carved them the first weekend in October.

    Here's a picture of mine, MIL's, and H's Star Wars one. BIL did a Star Wars one too, but it didn't turn out very well.

  • We haven't gotten our pumpkins yet either, probably on Friday. 
  • If we carve too early they just rot by Halloween.  It's too hot here.  I LOVE Halloween.  I go all out decorating my house, I make it super scary and get the best candy to hand out to kids. 

    This year I'm a little slower than normal.  Only about half my decorations are up.  I normally throw a big pumpkin carving party- that's out this year.  I bought the pumpkins but I think we will just have our neighbors over to carve them... maybe next week.

  • We haven't really carved pumpkins at all since we've been living together or married. I'd like to...we just never get around to doing it. Plus they don't even have trick-or-treat on our street so I kinda feel like it's just a waste to do much fall decorating. Maybe I'll change my mind about that one day.

    Not yet but I really want to. I'll probably do it this weekend.  I get the itch in early October but try to hold out as long as possible so they last until Halloween.

  • No :-( we can't carve ours until a day or toe before bc it gets too hot during the day. Two years ago we thought we were being smooth and carved them a week before. They rotted and molded within like three days.

    DS got itchy waiting for us so he carved his with my dad on Saturday. The ones I bought for DH and myself are still rolling around in the back of my car.

    I saw somewhere that if you soak your pumpkin in bleach water for 2-3 minutes once a week it will help them last longer. Dont know if it really works, But Im going to try it.

    Ditto this! We're getting them and going to a carving party Oct 26. I still have no idea how I'm going to carve mine.
