Trickle Treat

It's Halloween and Lucy is helping Mummy create a scary pumpkin to put in the front window so all the Trick-or-Treaters around our area know that she will give them a little treat if they dress up. Rather sweetly Lucy doesn't know about the thuggish American connotation (threatening dire retribution if candy isn't proffered) and thinks it is just called Trickle Treat.

Firstly Lucy opens up the pumpkin using her precission cutting spade

Then she needs to scoop out all the insides

Mummy uses a sharp knife to cut out a fearsome face that would send a chill through any trickle treater.

Lucy checks that the pumpkin monstrer is not too heavy

Rather than waste perfectly good pumpkin innards, Mummy cooks it up into a fine soup.

Lucy has a little taste to see if this new delicacy is up to her exacting standards

Yes it is

So both a scary sign and a nutritious meal

Well done Pumpkin
