Carving our first pumpkin

Barry and I decided that it would be fun to carve a pumpkin with John since this is the first Halloween he can actually understand a little of what's going on. Seeing that last year he was 3 months old and just laid in my arms while kids rang the doorbell, and then eventually fell asleep so I was quietly handing out candy to the kiddos. :)

John really enjoyed carving the pumpkin, although, he didn't really want to get his hands dirty. He really liked WATCHING daddy scoop out the insides and carve the face. However once daddy gave John the spoon to scoop out the insides, he went to town. He had so much fun playing with the spoon in the pumpkin. I'm beginning to think our little boy has more of mommy in him than we realize...he loves shoes and doesn't want to touch the icky pumpkin guts! heh! heh! Oh, one other thing, the reason my sweet little boy doesn't have pants on is because daddy changed a poopy diaper just before the pumpkin carving and decided he was a little too wiggly to try and get those pants back on. :) I've heard chunky thighs are quite appealing right now, so John is just very modern with his dress attire. :)
