In preparing for the Halloween show-and-tell and Benjamin's school, I read that the Irish used to carve turnips; pumpkins didn't come into vogue until Halloween made it across the ocean to America.
I didn't manage it in time for the school presentation, but Frédéric didn't think I could do it, so I had to attempt to prove him wrong.
 |
| The grocery store only had teeny turnips, but I did manage it. |
 |
| The hardest part was massacring the tea light to make it small enough to fit inside. |
 |
| Noah's jack o'lantern... which I kind of think looks like him. |
 |
| Benjamin's jack o'lantern |
 |
| And all three together. |
And here is my confession: I'm sort of glad they don't do Halloween here, because that means I don't have to figure out costumes!
