Halloween 2002 - Pumpkin Carving

This year I was unable to trick-or-treat with my little one because I was on a business trip. We did, however, get a chance to carve a pumpkin. This year, Natalie was Winnie the Pooh.

 

Daddy and Natalie carving their first pumpkin together.

This is where Daddy taught Natalie the word, lobotomy.

Oooh, Yum-Yum.

Eventually, I did eat these seeds. I baked them first.

Our Pumpkin Laboratory

After marking out a pumpkin face, Natalie went right to work pounding the "lite-brite"-like pegs into the pumpkin.

"Daddy, you hold it. I..I.. will put them in, okay?"

Dad, relegated to holding the pumpkin while Natalie has all the fun. Okay, I was having fun too.

Natalie's new creation

Pretty spiffy, eh? It even came with a battery powered lite bulb.
