Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday we went to a little pumpkin patch about 5 minutes from our home. Yes, we went to Sweet Berry farm a few weeks ago, but Greg likes to choose a pumpkin to carve the day before Halloween or some years even on Halloween, a tradition we began when we married. The other pumpkins Angie keeps for decorating through Thanksgiving.
Our sweet " Little Pumpkin"

right away David found the one he wanted

tested out a few others

and then found the good stuff... a big orange truck

and some sticks to use for weed eating the patch

after trying for pictures with Mommy

David finally was given his pacifier ... his dance of joy

at home David got a cupcake snack... we picked this up at the Farmer's Market yesterday morning


David was a little concerned about what was inside the pumpkin



Mommy had the job of scooping out the insides

then David scooped the insides onto the floor and Bella ate straight form the bowl

he finally touched the "guts" with one tip of a finger

Daddy carved David's favorite - an Elmo jack-o-lantern

Greg is a creative pumpkin carver; every year he has a great idea... this year was an idea just for David.
Tonight while we were in the car Greg began whistling the tune of Elmo's World. And all of a sudden a little voice in the back seat whispers - ELMO! Daddy made a great creative decision this year!
We can't wait to light this up tomorrow!
