The Great Pumpkin...

We decided last night to finally carve one of the pumpkins for Joel, since it was rainy and too cold to take a walk. I was all excited and got everything ready. I was hoping Joel would be into pulling out the pumpkin insides, but he really didn't seem to care! Rob and I gutted the pumpkin and I carved it while Joel sat in his highchair and played with the little battery-operated light we got to use inside the pumpkin. After the carving was done, Joel was finally interested....in pulling out the light! He lifted the lid several times to get the light, and then he would put it back. He did that several times before he was on to something else. He liked it when we put the pumpkin outside and turned on the light inside it, but other than that he wasn't interested. Hopefully he's a little more excited about the Halloween costume later this week! More later.....
