Pumpkin Carving 2011

After last year’s “oops we’re too exhausted to live and it’s already Halloween and we completely forgot to carve our pumpkin…good thing Liam’s not old enough to notice and/or care” debacle we made sure to make time for pumpkin carving.  Liam was *very* excited.

Tools at the ready!

Liam’s expressions during the process were killer:

Liam was very excited to get it outside to its proper place:

Have I mentioned that Liam *loved* this Jack-O-Lantern?

“Hey, Liam — show me what that Jack-O-Lantern looks like.”

Liam had a fantastic time (and Matt was right there with him) and he’s already asking when Halloween will come around again.  Also?  If Christmas is tomorrow.  And?  If his birthday is next week.
