Pumpkin Carving

Sorry for the long delay in blogging. We haven't been taking many pictures lately, and Benjamin was sick all last week with a fever. He's doing better, but still catching up on his sleep. We definitely had a rough few days, and had to go to the ER one evening. His temp was almost 105, so that was pretty scary. Apparently it was just a bug going around--the nurse called it a toddler epidemic.

Here are a few shots of our pumpkin carving the other night. Benjamin loved it! He got right in and started scooping out the goo. He even tried eating a chunk of the pumpkin; didn't care for it too much, but he still ate a few bites.


Okay, let's get these sleeves rolled up.


This is how we scoop it out.


Eewww!


I can do it by myself, Daddy!


The finished product--triangle eyes and a heart nose per request of Benjamin.
