Andrew's First Pumpkin Carving

We had not tried carving a "punkin" (aka pumpkin) with Andrew yet. We thought this would be the year. As you can tell from the posts, we've had a busy October and it wouldn't be one of my activities if it wasn't the last minute. Maybe a new tradition "Halloween eve pumpkin carving".

Scott and Andrew decided they wanted a scary pumpkin. Andrew lasted for a little while and we heard a lot of "ewhs" as Scott was taking out the "guts". Andrew did help with that and loved it. But once the knife came out to carve the design, Andrew's attention span was gone. The cool part was over and he was on to something else.

Scott finished the pumpkin by himself - actually with Bailey, the dog, keeping him company. Of course, also in true Michelle form, I forgot we needed a candle and had to drive to the store quickly!

Andrew's digging in!

Please look at the expression on Andrew's face. He is really telling Mommy and Luke all about "punkin" carving.

The finished product - after I bought the candle. :-)

Wish you were here Friday night to see it! Andrew is VERY proud of his jack-o-lantern.
