DIY: Jack 'O Lantern

We carved O's first pumpkin tonight. It was no work of art...a 9 1/2 month old won't allow you to spend too much time on any one task ;-). But, here is the play by play of our fun family event. Daddy Q thinks this should be the first and last annual Quinlan Family Pumpkin Carving Night...but, I think I will veto that one! I get to do that if I clean up the mess, right?

O and his big, huge pumpkin he helped me pick up at the store yesterday (and the trusty Mum Mum--can't forget those when we travel to England in a few weeks!!).
O feeding Daddy Q is Mum Mum. O has started "sharing"....he waves his food in front of your face, but won't let you actually take a bite ... so sweet ;-)

We cut a hole in the top and expected O to dig right in...

Not so much, Ma!

Hum...this does feel pretty cool?!?

And...How did that raw pumpkin seed taste? I guess he thought it was yummy, 'cause it went down. When O has pumpkins sprouting out of his ears in a few months...you know why!

O quickly got over the excitement of the pumpkin and just wanted us to finish and play!!!

We went out to the front porch for a photo with the finished product...

Where ya goin' Owen?

Fun times!

Picture for mommy--thanks, hun!

O says ... there's your memories, mom! See you later 'gater.
Here's to the 1st Annual Quinlan Pumpkin Carving. Its a wrap.
