Pumpkin carving time!

Luke & I carved our pumpkin today. He's been asking to do it for about two weeks, but if you carve a pumpkin too early here, it's likely to start stinking if the weather gets hot again (which it usually does.) Since we're leaving for South Carolina on Friday, I figured we'd better go ahead and do it today or we'd miss doing it all together. Last year Luke didn't have any problem sticking his hand in the pumpkin and scooping out the pumpkin goop, but he wanted no part of it this year. He did use a scooper to get some of it out, but in true three-year-old fashion, he was done scooping after about two minutes. After choosing the pattern, he helped me paint it on and helped cut the pumpkin just a bit. He liked it once we were done and is looking forward to seeing it tonight with the candle in it.
Scooping out the goop!
