Happy Halloween!

We decided not to put Jake through the whole Halloween experience this year. He's not old enough to enjoy dressing up and going trick-or-treating. We figured we'd save all that for next year. He would just hate us this year if we stuffed him into some hot costume. It's not like he can eat the candy and we certainly don't need it.

We did, however, get a pumpkin to carve. I was so excited to see how Jake would react to all the fun and nastiness that a pumpkin is. We went to a church in our neighborhood that had a small pumpkin patch. We picked the biggest pumpkin we could find and then proceeded to pay $18 for it. Yes, we actually paid $18 for a freaking pumpkin. We justified it by saying, "at least the money went to a church." We got our big pumpkin home, stripped Jake to his diaper, put him in his seat and...he was totally disgusted.

We emptied the contents of the pumpkin onto some newspaper and I held Jake up so he could stand in all the mess. He was not interested. I let him feel of the mush. He took one little touch and that was it. He didn't want any part of that pumpkin on or near him. And, I was worried he was gonna try to eat it. Ha!

Anyway, Happy Halloween everybody!!
