this past weekend we carved pumpkins at gramma deb's (mugga). this year henry was big enough to help out! great-aunt kathy donated a big gorgeous gourd, and henry had a ball scooping out all the guts. and then putting them back in. then scooping them out again. then putting them back in. you get the picture :) it took us a little while longer than usual to get the pumpkin completely cleaned out, but we had a lot of fun doing it! i didn't take as many photos because of all the sharp tools handy and the necessary super surveillance as a result :)
hehe. he was even happy to climb inside and pose for some photos!
henry painted a smaller pumpkin with mugga's help
mine and austin's (these are the only two I got a decent photo of, there were more very detailed ones...)
afterward we enjoyed some creepy cupcakes. that is, regular cupcakes with halloween sprinkles. i am a sucker for all those holiday-themed sprinkles...
these are the scariest treats i will ever make for halloween (sorry future henry from halloweens to come). i just can't do the crazy weird treats that look like brains and whatever because they will scar you for life. when i was little i went to a haunted house that had grape "eyeballs"
i can't eat grapes to this day.
the texture makes me think of an eyeball squishing between my tongue and molars.
no thanks.
:)
if, for some reason, the sprinkles were to result in a taste aversion (which they never would) at least it would be an aversion to food that isn't healthy for you.
right?
nod and agree with me.
next year.....i think we are going to need a bigger pumpkin.
