Rye is old enough this year to be an active participant in the carving of the pumpkin! Daddy decided to be very creative and carve Elmo into the pumpkin (he even gave him fangs!). Since Rye couldn't help with the carving, he offered his services in the form of scooping out the goo and picking out the pumpkin seeds so Mommy could roast them. Mmmm.
He was a little concerned about sticking his hand into the pumpkin at first, so we eased him into the process by letting him play with the "lid."
Eventually, armed with an ice cream scooper, he was elbow deep in pumpkin guts and loving every minute of it.
So much so, that he had pumpkin seeds everywhere! Including in his hair. Eww. :)
In the end, though, Daddy and Rye had an awesome Halloween Elmo pumpkin.
