Or do we even bother in getting a pumpkin for Halloween this year? Looking back at the "pumpkin shots" from previous Halloween's , we really don't go all out since we live in flats and don't have either of the places where pumpkins often work best - a porch or a garden. When I was growing up we used to carve the pumpkins, putting a candle in it and sticking it outside - like everyone else...
We did try the year before last to have a pumpkin indoors - but the smell of pumpkin is a bit much in a small flat.
Instead of a real pumpkin we'll probably have a go at some alternative ideas like papier mâché, fabric or even bring these babies back out...
