Pumpkin Carvin'

Last year for Halloween, Aiden was a pumpkin, so this year we decided to show him what pumpkins are really all about before the big day. We stripped off most of his clothing to avoid the inevitable mess, put some old wallpaper we had meant to throw out on the floor, and went at it. Aiden played nicely with the guts for about 10 seconds at which point he started flinging them around the kitchen and we had to put an end to that phase of the festivities. I think he still had a lot of fun with the spoons and pumpkins, and we got some yummy garlic-salted roasted pumpkin seeds out of the deal.

Did you know it's totally gross if you stick your hand in here?

That's right! It's totally gross! Dadoo attacks his guts with industrial tongs...

Take that, you nasty guts!

So, you used this big spoon to scrape it out...I see...

THIS is the best tool.



Scrape, scrape, scrape...

Not our most artistic ever, but we had to be quick with the knife phase of the pumpkin carving to avoid invoking the wrath of fussa-bud...

Making a mess and Mom and Dadoo encourage it? This must be Aiden's lucky day! He's seems to use his left hand. Is he a lefty like his Dadoo?
