Today we carved our first pumpkin. Or rather, I carved our first pumpkin. Apparently the sight of me plunging a knife into a poor unsuspecting pumpkin and carving out the happy smiling face really upset Arthur. Sent him screaming and crying the other way even! This is the first halloween where we've had a carved pumpkin so I guess he really had no idea what to expect, but he definitely did not like what he saw. Luckily my Mom was there having just dropped him off from a two night sleepover at her place (Grandma is awesome!) So she kept both boys occupied while I gruesomely (apparently) scooped out the pumpkin guts and carved out the cutesy face I had picked thinking Arthur would like it. Eventually Arthur scooted over to the edge of the living room where he could see what I was doing and said "I'm going to watch you Mommy" And by the time I was putting the finishing touches on the pumpkin he was sitting at the table with me. Of course he was still crying "Don't carve my pumpkin Mommy, I want it fixed!" then "Is it all done?" and of course "Ooooo it's beautiful!!" As I went to find a candle for it he wanted to know "Can I scoop out the pumpkin now Mommy?" lol Maybe next year will be more of a success. I know he's excited to be going trick or treating but now I'm wondering what he's going to think of us giving out candy too. Should be interesting.
