check....

Checked another "must do parenting item" off the list this weekend. Finally let the little help carve up the punkin'.

*Side note* Shorty is not a theme dresser. He did not wear an orange sweater in honor of punkin' carving....the man just likes orange....

So, Shorty and E drew the face on the orange fruit. (Yes, pumpkins are fruit...they have seeds)

I cut off the top and we started cleaning out the guts. The neat freak E would not put her hand in there. Too slimy and too nasty.

So, naturally...I got to clean it out. Shorty helped for a bit....then he found the bag of candy corns.

I had never carved a pumpkin before. We had a ceramic one. Now I see why. Much cleaner choice....but, a little less fun.

E was pretty enthralled with the punkin'. She sang happy birthday to it when we put the candle in.

Happy Halloween......almost.

Boo!
