Pumpkin carving day

 Day 197 part two

While waiting for my pulled pork to slow cook (or, super slow cook - it took over 8 hours!), Bobby and I decided to carve our pumpkins. Carving pumpkins is a perfect activity to do while waiting for pulled pork... it seriously took me 2 hours or so just to gut my pumpkin!!

I had so much pumpkin that I did not know what to do with. Mid gutting, I heard Chaos awake and poking around her cage so I took her out and gave her some pumpkin. She loved it!!!

Here's the evolution of my pumpkin:

First I carved it

Then I painted it white

Then I painted the insides of the carved parts red and added some crazy eyes
