We haven't been to the patch yet....

 OK. I know.  It was only the first day of October and I broke down and bought a pumpkin from the store instead of waiting until our annual pumpkin patch excursion (and colder weather).  But my excuse is.....they were cheap....and this counts as my pumpkin....and the kids were just so excited....and October is such a fun month.....it's really hard to wait.  We had to immediately carve said pumpkin of course and celebrate with home made pumpkin pie for dessert.
 This year, Ryan got to help carve...actively.  
 Dylan was adequately grossed out by the slimey gooey insides. 
 And fascinated by the pumpkin top.  We narrowly avoided a topless pumpkin after Dylan hurled the top on the concrete forcefully. 
 Pumpking scooping.
 Looking at the big, flat, white seeds.   We told the kids if they saved them we could bake the pumpkin seeds....but....they didn't think that sounded good. 
 Getting ready to un-vail their spooky creation....
 Yup. Pretty spooky.  The kids have affectionately named him, "Mr. Scary Face."
