Jack-O-Lantern

Daddy and his little "helper" Andrew started carving our pumpkin last night. Andrew was really into it at first trying to color his pumpkins. Funny how he didn't want to do that at the zoo two weeks ago. He even helped to scoop the seeds out, which was more like stirring the seeds around. But eventually, he lost interest as the process to clean it out took too long. It was getting late so we stopped for the night so we could take Andrew a bath and put him down to bed. Afterwards, Daddy finished carving the pumpkin and then toasted the seeds. Delicious!

So tonight, we lit up our Jack-O-Lantern. Andrew liked it all lit up. He kept wanting to touch it, but would say "hot" because he saw the flame.

Below are pictures from both nights. Daddy did a great job considering he did it all by himself (no template) with a knife (no pumpkin carving kit) and hadn't carved a pumpkin in who knows how many years! We will have to get fancier next year--like a Longhorn pumpkin!!
