Pumpkin Carving

Tuesday night after school Justin and I thought it would be fun to let Talan carve his first pumpkin.  He was not too crazy about putting his hands inside the pumpkin and digging out the insides, but he did like playing with the spoon.  He also tried to eat the pumpkin but found out very quickly that it doesn't taste too good!  Talan's response to the taste was, "Yucky!"  He was really excited when we put a candle in the pumpkin and lit it up.  He just laid on the floor and starred at it.  We eventually took the pumpkin out to our front porch and Talan stood at the door and window saying, "bye bye pumpkin."  It was so cute!
If you notice, in the first picture we just took his shirt off of Talan.  In the next pictures, you will see that he is completely down to his diaper.
Talan and I pulling the top off of the pumpkin after Daddy cut it.
I think Talan's favorite part of pumpkin carving was playing with the top of the pumpkin.  He sat on a pillow and played with the pumpkin top while Justin and I cleaned out the pumpkin.
He did eventually help us get a couple seeds out of the bottom.  I wish you could have seen his face!
Talan really enjoyed watching Daddy carve the face of the pumpkin out.  In this picture he is saying, "Oooh!"
This is the outcome!
