Halloween pumpkins have become a tradition in our Brazilian-Canadian home. Kids love them, and the whole preparation around collecting these at the pumpkin farm and then carving them has become a staple activity in our family.

Here are the first ones we’ve done these year (which are now all rotten and destroyed):
