PUMPKIN CARVING 2015

We officially have a carved pumpkin sitting on our porch now!  We were able to have a full night as a family since Joe was never called out for work, so it was a good thing we chose last night to do it.  This is the first pumpkin we've carved with Conner.  Life with this little boy keeps getting better as he grows up and we get to start doing these fun activities together.  He gets into it now and shows more excitement which is a blast for me and Joe.  I love these little first milestones.
 
It didn't take me long to think of a design for Conner's pumpkin.  He's been into Mickey a ton lately, so we had to do a Mickey silhouette, right? And it was probably the easiest pumpkin design I've ever done since it's literally only three circles.  I love it when things are easy!
 


Taking a peek inside.

For a little boy that loves getting messy, there was a lot of convincing involved for him to reach inside and touch the pumpkin guts.

And here we are still trying to convince him to get his hands down in there.

Do you know what this face is?  This is the face of a little boy that started sneaking pumpkin seeds into his mouth to eat.  No cleaning or toasting necessary - straight from the pumpkin to the mouth.
 
He was trying to get us to eat them raw too.

This was Conner's favorite part because he actually wanted to be front and center while we cleaned the inside with a spoon.

We're not sure what this little boy was trying to say, but he kept throwing his hand up to Joe and telling him "no" to something.


Conner got to push the cutout of Mickey's head all by himself.

How did they plan their faces to match expressions?
