Scott-O-Lantern

For our family home evening last night, we carved pumpkins!! We are so excited about Halloween, and had tons of fun listening to halloween music, squishing guts between our fingers and coming up with fun ideas for our designs. We called my family in UT on skype and had a virtual FHE together. McKenna and Dad carved a pumpkin there, and we showed each other our art when we were finished... gotta love technology!!
We put a pile of guts on Scott's tray, and stayed close by, in case it went downhill fast, but he had no interest in putting that in his mouth, and wasnt even sure what to do with it in his hands!My parents and sis got to watch him discover it, and he sure was curious about it!!

Since Scott can't very well carve a pumpkin himself, I was his hands, and he was my inspiration... I decided to make a "Scott-O-Lantern", isnt it cute???

Just kidding, I actually did carve a pumpkin! And Scott WAS actually my inspiration... this picture depicts perfectly his feelings for the pumpkin guts, but it also shows (if you look REALLY close) the source of my pumpkin inspiration! Scott grew his two bottom teeth 3 and 2 weeks ago, and I have been TRYING and TRYING to get a picture. As soon as you try to pull his lip down to see them, out comes his tongue! Anyways, I decided to make a jack-o-lantern face with two bottom teeth, to be my little Scotty in pumpkin form! I thought it was a bright idea!! **pats herself on the back**

Dude enjoyed the guts and seeds a lot more than Scott did! He was dancing to Thriller as entertainment for Scott and I, making faces such as THESE, and making it fun for everyone! He was also the camera-man for our webcam as we escorted my family digitally outside to see our lit up pumpkins! Hes the best husband and friend i could ever want and he have too much fun together!! (if thats possible, I think thats like having too much money... not really legit) Dude carved something that only a computer guy could... he carved a winking face made of a semicolon and a close parentheses, like this " ;) " The men and their pumpkins. Scott wanted to eat his... he wasnt interested in the guts, but once that carved pumpkin was nearby, it was all we could do to keep him from chewing on it with those two teeth of his!

We are so excited for all of these first holidays with Scott! Halloween is just the beginning of the best season of the year, and we cant wait to share our love for this time of year with him and see him enjoy himself!
