Punkin' Guts

So, we were a little behind with the pumpkin carving this year, but we finally got to it tonight. We had two pumpkins to work with, one that Dr. Barnes gave Ethan, and one that papa bought at Rural King. Ethan wanted to carve the one from Dr. Barnes first, so he decided what he wanted to do and we got to work. Jack was kind of grumpy, so after trying to push the pumpkin onto the floor a few times, he went and sat with mama in the recliner for a little while before retiring for the evening. Ethan wanted to make a ghost with a trick-or-treat bag peeking in a door for the first one. We started removing the "punkin guts," as Ethan likes to call the insides of the pumpkin, then started carving away. Once that one was completed, we went to work on Ethan's next choice - a witch. By the time we got finished, mama was heading for bed, so we showed them to her, then went outside and took a couple of pictures. Ethan was already in his PJs, so he was a little chilly, but very excited to see the Jack-O-Lanterns outside. We came in, drank some milk, watched an episode of Scooby-Doo, then I finally took Ethan to bed and read him "Curious George: Happy Halloween." It was quite the festive evening.
