Derek ran to the store for some newspapers to spread on the floor to contain the mess and I did my best to convince Carder that the big orange sphere on the counter was NOT A BALL while I sketched our design on the front.
We sat in the floor and got started. He was a bit skeptical of the orange gooiness and preferred to sit on my lap and watch as we cleaned the pumpkin out.
He was much happier stirring the seed/pulp mixture with the scoop than he was with getting his hands dirty.
After the carving was finished, we turned out the lights and lit up the Jack-O-Lantern so that he could see the masterpiece we had just created as a family and was prepared for him to stare at it in awe.
He still thinks it's a ball... Oh well. Maybe next year he will understand the difference...
