Halloween pumpkin carving season is here, so here are some pretty cool and sort-of easy projects we can all create.

Growing up, my family never really got into carving pumpkins for Halloween. We did it a couple years, but it always seemed more work than it was worth. Especially when all the neighborhood kids would smash them up anyways (jerks).

Of course, my daughter's a little young yet to appreciate the art of carving pumpkins (mainly because she doesn't know what it even means yet), but that won't be an excuse for very long. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to when she is old enough because pumpkin carving has come a long way since I was a little kid with all the different stencils and cool ideas you can now do.

Case in point: Check out these several relatively-easy ideas you can do with your pumpkins!
