The Master Carver

We carved our pumpkin tonight, with the help of our son. He actually understood that we were putting a face on the pumpkin, and wanted to have his hands in on the whole process. It was fun to watch him dig into the guts and play with the seeds (scattering them all over the table and floor!). Mama was so excited about carving tonight, she even baked a pumpkin pie to have as a special dessert. Our son loved it! The evening ended with a fairly cute jack o' lantern (looking suspiciously just like last year's), and a toddler who learned what happens when you stick your finger into the still warm wax of a candle.
