Carving elaborate pumpkins is a tradition for us. We've been at it since university, so we've had over 15 years of fun. You can see many of our pumpkins from 2003 to the present in Dean's flickr set. Every year we choose a theme (a few recent ones have been "Where the Wild Things Are", Popeye, Asterix, and Star Wars).
2011 has been the year of Shaun the Sheep around our house, so we thought it fitting to carve Shaun the Sheep characters for our 2011 pumpkin theme. Shaun and his gang get up to all sorts of hilarious adventures and they've brought lots of laughter to our lives this year!
Here they are:
Shaun the Sheep, carved by Holly
Timmy, the baby of the flock, carved by Holly
Bitzer, the beleagured sheep dog, carved by Dean
One of the naughty pigs, carved by Dean
Happy Halloween!
those are too cute! There is a lot of talent in that house of yours! Happy Halloween Holly!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lysa! It's fun when people know who Shaun the Sheep is. The pumpkins were well received by the trick-or-treaters!
